Kodak DC240.
It's a great camera with only one fault - the back LED display is right where your nose goes when you take a picture. Everytime you look through the viewfinder the screen gets greasy. A couple observations about digital cameras. First, when you get one you'll wonder why you waited so long. They are the best for manipulating images and saving them to harddrives or CD rewriters. Second, you'll want a reasonably good printer to print out the better pics you want to put in photo albums.
Remember when you get your camera that you have to protect it from the elements more than your basic 35mm camera. Watch out for sand and saltwater!
