There was a good article in August MacWorld and Macuser. The summary is
that inexpensive digital cameras (under $1000) are as good as throw
aways. But if you buy one, the best rated to date is the Apple Quick
Take (selling now at $599). I have used this camera for a year and find
it easy to use and great for elementary kids to use and process.
