My first Digital camera was a gift. A Kodak DX 3215 , 2 megapixels  Great
point and shoot camera. I like the idea of the camera dock. I took and trip
to Spain and Portugal last year.  Downloaded all photos from this camera and
my 35mm. to Snapfish.  the only way people could tell which photos were from
the digital was from the date stamp on the digital camera. Since then I've
got the DX 6440, $399 with dock and 64 mb memory card from Staples 4
megapixel and 4x optical zoom.  digital zoom  are garbage. 3 megapixels and
a zoom optical lenses should be plenty for a first camera.
