I have a Kodak EasyShare camera. it is very easy to use and very easy to hook up to the puter and print etc. It includes all the software you need to crop, correct redeye nd other picture problems or to convert to black & white, or cartoon version or other little fun features. The sioftware also includes a link to make emailing the pictures very easy. I have had mine for two years so it is only a 2.0 megapixal. My husband just got a 3.1 megapixel (also Kodak Easy Share) and his enlargements are much nicer than mine. Two of the ladies in my office also have Kodak Easyshares , one is a 4.0 and the other a 5.0. The differences in the clarity really are noticable. We all love how easy they are to use. I would definitely recommend the Kodak Easy Share in the highest megapixel you can afford.

And, now Grandpa:
First off, sit down in a nice comfortable spot, and contemplate:
What am I
really going to do with the camera?
If all you're really going to do is post pix on the internet, Email pix to friends, or post flyers for lost animals, than a 2M Pixel camera is enough.
Do I want to be bothered with elaborate Photo Software, or do I just want to get the damn pictures out of the camera, do some sensible editing, and have appropriate save options.
The Kodak Easy Share cameras with Compuer dock walk on water! You have a small cradle that sits near your coputer in which you store your camera. While its in the dock, the batteries are always kept full-charged. Grab the camera and go - point, click - review; go home, put camera back in dock, push the Transfer button and your Kodak software loads, lets you select the downloading options of your choice, downloads the pictures and launches the Kodak Picture Processing software with the new pictures in place, ready for edit. Go get to to trim, color correct, preview and save your changes. You can also do a "Save As" where you get to select the picture pixel size and resolution based on your intentions. (The basic picture loaded from the camera always stays in your computer, so you can go back and do other things.)
And they have things you never thought you's want - like video capture: these tiny puppies take video of birthday parties (and orgies) which you can replay right on the camera for the delight of all - and you can plug in the supplied video cable and play then with sound on your TV. You can even save the video and sound as a QuickTime file to send to friends and relatives (Birthday parties, not orgies).
