Digital BW, The Print

Paul-

Flash card memory has come way down... a 256mb card now sells for 
about $115 and on the 2 megapixel cameras this would let her take 
about 500 pics... about 350 on the 3mp cameras.

not sure what price range is cheap, but the one i would advise in the 
2mp range is the canon digital elph (very sexy...built like a nice 
watch) and in the 3mp range, the nikon 885 (which is good enough that 
she will be able to make decent letter size prints). 

either of these should run about $350.
