I use a Sony DSC-P51 2.0 MP I think I paid about $300 for it 2 or 3 years ago, cameras in that range can be had for under $200 now. 3.2 is probably more than most of us will ever need, unless you want to print lots of 8X10 or larger. One thing I would want though is more optical zoom, the digital just enlarges the pixels which will make it very grainy the more you blow it up. I like the memory sticks on the Sony, on the max setting a 128 stick will hold 133 pictures (with a 2.0 MP camera) on 640X480 it will hold over 700. One program I like a lot is Roxio Photo Suite 5. Only $29 and it lets you upload from the camera, and all the photos on your PCs hardrive, edit, print, archive, etc. I like the CD burner options, you can put albums on a CD that you can play on a CD-R capable DVD player and watch them on your TV, also can add music to them. They have a website it can upload them to so family and friends can view the pictures (password protected) and even order prints from if they like. I took pictures at my sisters wedding last year and sent everyone the CDs, they were a big hit.
