Digital Camera User Profiles

SNAPSHOOTER

I want to take photos that I can e-mail to friends and family, post on the Web, or print in sizes smaller. I'd like a digital camera that is easy enough for the whole family to use and small enough to take anywhere. I'll be printing on an inexpensive, all-purpose ink jet printer.
