<font color="blue">I use a
Nikon 5700 .
It is a great camera with tons of features.
It is 5 megs with 8X zoom & macro, fully adjustable like a 35MM or automatic & has movie mode also.
You should be able to get one of these for around $500.
I got mine from Beach Camera on the web .. quick service & good price.
The pics on here are from this camera ... & this one too:
If that's too high tech, I have one of these for sale ...
