Heh... I wanted a cheap easy to use digital that was expendable, so I went to the local thrift shop. I bought an old Kodak DX-3215 point and shoot for just $8. The proprietary USB cable was long gone, so I bought a cheap SD memory card for $10 and stuck that in the camera.

The camera has auto everything, and a 2X zoom lens. The pictures look good, and while the resolution is 'only' 1280 by 768, I find that's plenty good enough for emailing, uploading, etc. This Kodak is nothing fancy - but if it gets dropped or stolen I'm only out $18. I pack it in my tail bag or my pocket whenever I'm travelling and want to snap some pics, and it's very easy to plug the SD memory card into my laptop to transfer or email photos.
