LOL You on a budget??? I can't help but laugh at that one Sir. Judging from all the personally owned gun, knife, and equipment pictures you have graced us with online, I would have to say using the term budget just doesn't seem to do you justice.

I think you should refer to your situation as more of an "unlimited personal spending stipend". You must have decided that you didn't want a fancy camera...
Joe-
For net and home useage, most of the 4-5 megapixel cameras will be more than you should need. That being said, I would focus on the actual lens equipped on the models you are looking at for purchase.
Completely disregard the "digital" zoom number... the actual lens zoom is the only one that is important.
I have seen Sony, HP, and Olympus digital cameras all function for what you want. 4-5 Mg pixel and then cost,size,lens and accessories (like a docking station) are what I would look for. Good luck
