RE: [Digital BW] OT -- Cheap digital camera for kid

Another possibility is Kodak PhotoCD scans, which I think can be had 
for about a dollar per exposure, e.g., three rolls of 36-exposure 
Kodak Supra, developed and scanned onto a single CD for about $115, 
and shot through any 35 which can be set so that she gets to see the 
interaction between shutter speed and aperture. I've tried all three 
speeds of Supra in this mode in a Canon Rebel and been disappointed 
in the grain in the 800. But you can often get by without a flash, 
and I think the 800 prints fine at 5 x 7, maybe even 8 x 10.
