Do NOT get a Kodak Easyshare. I saved and saved and bought a Kodak Easyshare and it was the biggest mistake of my life, wouldn't take clear pictures, you could forget about taking pictures in the daylight, terrible quality.
I would get a Canon Powershot, I have the SD 1100 and it's amazing! Definitely a great camera for someone wanting to take legit pictures and is very user friendly. I bought it for $200.
