I just bought a client an HP camera for a point-and shoot for his ebay business; I got these for the Twins for the holidays - the images were nice, the LCD was clear and they were super easy. The twins had them figured out in 5 minutes. They take pix almost every day. You can even buy a dock that connects to the computer for snapshots. For the money and features, I would recommend.
