For anyone on list, be careful of the "cheapies" as they use Digital 
Zoom usually, not very good. Optical zoom is better but costs more. If 
image quality is not the prime concern (it isn't if you are just 
emailing the things) then Digital optics are fine.

Hi all

I'm in the market for an basic digital camera, nothing to flash (excuse
   

the
 

pun), maybe 3Mpix <$4-500)

Obviously it will need to be Linux compatable, and as I stuffed up
   

recently
 

when I bought my (non-linux supported) Canon i550 printer, I thought this
time I would get the good oil first
Any suggestions or current bargans would be appreciated
