I want to take photos that I can e-mail to friends and family, post on the Web, or print in sizes smaller than 8x10 inches.
I'd like a digital camera that is easy enough for the whole family to use and small enough to take anywhere.
I'll be printing on an inexpensive, all-purpose inkjet printer, though I'll consider buying a photo printer if I like the pictures enough.

The Specs That Matter:
  • Resolution 3 megapixels or greater
  • Lens type Zoom (range encompassing at least 38mm to 114mm, 35mm equivalent)
  • Storage media Internal memory, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, xD-Picture Card, or Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard
  • Photo file format JPEG
  • Interfaces USB, NTSC/PAL television connection
  • Exposure controls Automatic, programmed scene modes, exposure compensation (for tweaking the automatic exposure)
  • Focus controls Automatic
  • Flash modes Automatic, fill, red-eye reduction
  • Software Photo stitching, photo album, slide show
  • Multimedia Video-clip recording with sound
  • Cool features to look for Direct-to-printer (PictBridge) output
  • compatibility; in-camera red-eye removal
