what do i need?

My Husband and I are expecting our first baby late this year, I would like to get a digital camera mostly just for taking pictures of the baby, you know for memories of all the firsts.  but i don't have a clue of what I need like how many megapixels or zoom ranges or anything like that. I like the idea of the easy share by kodak but I still don't know aobut anything else

Well first, congratulations!

Having had a couple babies of my own, I can say you want something small and easy to use.  With one hand.  While running. :-)

Megapixels are overrated once you have 5 or more, if you ask me.  Zoom is really, really nice to have, but costs a little more.  The idea of EasyShare was to make a camera that actual humans can use easily; many people like them.  Another thing we like is the little movie clips.

One inexpensive camera that might suit the requirement is the Kodak C533.  This one has a "standard" 3x zoom, and a small LCD screen.  Also, while it does capture movies, you can't hear the sound from the camera itself.

Another to consider is the Kodak V610 which is a little more expensive but has a great 10x zoom.  Zoom is great because you can really get in tight on the subject.  Another similar cameras is the Panasonic TZ1, also with a great zoom.

Good luck!
