 I tried SLR's for my girls - now 14  16.  The cost of film/processing
 was killing me.  They were very willing to shoot all the film I would
 give them.  Most of it very exploratory.  Since getting them digital
 PS's, they have had much more fun learning and exploring and I have
 had much more fun not paying for lot's of silly shots.  The bottom end
 Optio (whatever that is now) would be more than adequate.  One
 daughter has a Canon A10 (1.3MP) and the other has an Optio 230 (2MP).
  You can get a reasonable 5X7 out of either camera.  They shoot to
  their heart's content. You win all the way around.

A word of warning on the Canon A series PS digitals: Every one of them that
I have seen has serious aliasing problems.
Same for the Panasonic 3.2mp camera.
I haven't seen anything identified as being off an Optio, so I can't say
whether they are good or bad in this regard.

Of course Bruce!  That should've been obvious to me, considering that THAT
is just what my boys were doing with my digicam when they took those shots
of me yesterday.  They took photos of each other with each of their toys, in
front of flowers, pics of each others ears, and even their left over lunches
on their plates!  I am looking into a digital camera for him right now...

  Hey Sylwek,
 
  Crikey mate, you don't need that flash on top of your MZ-S, just scrim
  the old forehead down a bit with some black cloth - should work a treat
 TMP ;-)
 
 
 
 
  Cheers,
Cotty (who does that all the time..)
