actually..
Digital Cameras that take pictures with a quality suitable for emails and computer images are pretty cheap too. As new stuff rolls out, stuff gets cheaper and cheaper. I just picked up a Panasonic DZ5 with a 12x optical zoom and 5 mp for 200 bucks because the DZ7 is out now, so my local CC wanted to get rid of the old models!
There are a number of sub 100 dollar digital cams on the market now.
