If you've never taken photos before, you would probably be happy with most models. But if you're used to shooting film, you need to realize that most digital camera will have a lag time between pressing the shutter and capturing the image. (The amount of time varies with the camera model, and it might not be a concern for you, depending on what type of photography you take.) I think the reviews mentioned earlier might be a good place to check.
Kodak EasyShare with a printer dock. It takes very good quality pictures and it's not that expensive either:)





They have a few different kinds, too so you can get one that fits what you need and what fits your budget.
I would look at www.dpreview.com and see what you would like. If you do not know what you like then read the reviews for various cameras (they have hundreds of reviews) and see what the best bang for your buck ison there. All software is pretty much irrelevant if you use the windows or microsoft software. Any camera can be used with those and I find it quicker and easier than most softwares that come with cameras.
