I got a Kodak 4 or 5 years ago - and it still works just great.

Megapixils - 3 or 4 is all that most of us will ever need - unless we want to develop 14 x 20 size pictures.

One of the worst mistakes a person can make is buying a "fancy camera." One that is not easy to use.

I think most of us amateurs need a "stand and shoot" type camera. I can make a lot of adjustments with mine - but it is an automatic and I rarely ever do anything other that just aim and take a picture. And my pictures turn out wonderful.

I do most of my fancy adjustments on the computer. I rarely use the zoom feature on my camera (I have learned to stand closer to my subject). But, I will zoom it up on my computer screen and then trim it. This has worked wonderfully for me.

Good luck - get the best camera you can afford - and get an easy camera to use.

PS: A lot of the cameras other people mentioned are great!
