I want to buy a digital camera and have not a clue as to what to buy. The more I read about digital cameras, the less that I know. It needs to be VERY simple to run and easy to download the pictures. Any opinions as to which camera would work easily with my system and would be a good value for the bucks? Thanks, Myrna
