OT Cameras for the dad to be. Then I would buy two cameras. A point and shoot 35mm with built in flash and a zoom lense, and a Nikon or Canon "prosumer" model.

Start with the point and shoot because you may decide you don't need the bigger camera. (Convenience is key for new moms and dads.) I strongly recommend the Pentax 105G. I bought one this March because I had forgotten my old Canon Z90 (on my way to the Q party in SD, but you may not remember that). I hardly ever bring out my Canon now! The picture quality, focus accuracy, zoom and flash are great for family shots (like babies) and the camera is very convenient and trustworthy. Not too good for landscapes and such.

Don't go for the new Advantix film formats if you are going to scan. The S20 doesn't support that negative size.

Here is a list of Pentax cameras with the 105G included.

Here is a great way to shop for the best price:

Of course, you will probably find this camera a Sam's, K-Mart, Walmart, or Costco at a good price. I paid $125, but could have gotten it cheaper online. But time is of the essence for you, ole buddy!
