I have a Fujifilm S3100 Finepix and it takes great pictures. It cost about $600.00 about four years ago and I love it. It has the Sandisk that I can plug into the front of my computer and put them in my photo files or put them on a floppy disk or I can put them on a ZIP 100 drive or e-mail them to anyone. But you don't need to spend a few hundred dollars to get a really nice camera. Mine came with re-chargeble batteries and a charger. Aren't the little picture cards neat that they have now days?
