I think that it would be a waste of money to buy a really cheap digicam.
They take horrible pics. Oly and others have some entry level cameras that
are very good, starting at arund $199
Or, take a look on ebay and buy a used one, prices should be reasonable.
Make sure you get one with a 3X OPTICAL zoom.
