I am ready to get a digital camera, but need ideas as to what I should be getting. A few people have told me to make sure it can use more than one battery type, like I have seen some use AA and Lithiums. Some are rechargeable. I am told that it is best to have one that can accept a power cord to plug into the wall so that when I am downloading the images onto the PC, I am not using batteries, but my home's power so that the batteries can be reserved for picture taking. I already know that 2.0 MPixels are required, and more than that is really not needed for simple pictures that are non-professional,,,but if I can get a good deal on one, then so be it. I also know something about digital zoom and real zoom. It appears to me that I do not care about digital zoom. I do not care for video-playback. I just want pictures. I will be looking for a huge memory stick as well.

Price...I know that the good cameras will not be under $300.00, and I cannot go over $450.00.
