We have the Canon Power Shot, and I love it. We have a 64MB card in it at moment, and can take up to 416 640x480 pics, and I do use it almost everyday, even if it's just silly pics of the bird and/or the cat.
It's got a cord to hook directly up to the TV for a slideshow, and I usually pop the memory card into a PCMCIA card to download to my laptop. Simple. I would love to have a really nice one that fits my 35mm zoom lens, but that's down the road. For ease of use, I like the Power Shot.
