Sony would be the way go, Cyber-shot 4.1 MegaPixel Digital Camera. It has 3X optical zoom with 10X SmartZoom for great photos both near and far and a Vario-Tessar lens that is specially engineered for quick auto-focus and great zoom range. It’s about $280.00 or more or less depends where you are or where you get it from.

Go with either Canon or Nikon. They both have a fantastic selection of lenses, and that’s where image quality comes from. Start with something simple and add lenses, a flash, a tripod, etc. and upgrade your gear over the years as the need arises.

To start with Canon, get a 350D (a.k.a. Rebel XT) with the very solid 17-85mm zoom.
Body: $750
Lens: $510
Memory (2GB): $100
Total initial cost: $1360 + tax (a bit less if you buy it as a kit)

With Nikon you can get started for less – they’re generally not cheaper or more expensive than Canon, but they do have a better selection of entry level gear. Get a D50, and their 18-70mm zoom lens (that generally comes as a kit with the more expensive D70s.)
Body: $550
Lens: $320
Memory (2GB): $100
Total initial cost: $970 + tax (a bit less if you buy it as a kit)

To compare prices & eventually purchase (in the USA), start with B&H, Ritz Camera and Beach Camera.
