The first question to ask is what types of photos do you intend to make and how do you intend to display them. Obviously if most will be displayed on the typical computer screen, a lower resolution, even less than 1m pixels, is sufficient. If you intend to make prints up to about 4 x 6 inches, you should be looking for cameras such as the Nikon Coolpix 700, available around $500. Frankly, I doubt that anything less in quality is a good investment. I also doubt that anyone who makes fewer than 100 photos a year (the equivalent of four 24-exposure 35mm cartridges) should even consider digital, unless there is a need for business documentation (insurance, etc.). If a person is likely to take 400 or more photos a year (easy if you take vacations or have a growing family and grand children), you're talking about some 20 rolls of 35mm film at a processing charge of roughly $300 for the film and prints. At that rate, it doesn't take much to justify digital.
