[HM] Digital camera

[TeeGate]

Jane,

wappling gave you good advise for a minimum requirements that you want 
to look for. The link below is a good site to compare prices and 
features.

I have a Canon PowerShot A20 which it appears is no longer available. 
But they have an A40 which is shown on the link above. My A20 is 2.1 
megapixel with a 7.5 optical zoom. Here are a few photo's that I have 
taken with it.

Here is one using the macro close up feature.

Digital Camera's use up batteries very quickly, especially if you use 
the zoom. So you want to make sure you have extra batteries available. 
I purchased 12 rechargeable batteries and rotate between them which 
works well.
