Buzz,

The low end of the digital camera market is now in the 1.0 to 1.3 megapixel range. There are many choices out there. I assume you want an LCD and a zoom feature in addition to flash. Some of these lower end models are from older generations and may not have USB. The Kodak DC 215 would be a reasonable choice. I think it retails for about $299.99 at Target. You could probably find it on the net cheaper. The Canon A50 is another possibility. Be aware, it uses non-standard batteries and a rechargeable battery kit will add $75.00 to the sticker price. The Epson PhotoPC 650 is another option, but I don't believe it has a zoom.

The older Olympus cameras are also still on shelves. The D360 does not use CF and does not have a zoom. The Olumpus D460 is a nice product with guilding along the edges. It still runs in the $400 range and its resolution is 1.3 megapixels. Sony and Toshiba also have cameras in this category. Again, these don't use CF.

I am still a big fan of the Nikon CoolPix 800. Expect to spend a bit more, but the camera has nice features and 2.1 megapixel resolution. Nikon also has a $75 rebate through this Summer.
