I'd get a 'better' point and shoot with zoom. Any of the big names have good cameras to choose from for under $400 that will do fine. No reason to get a dslr and have to fool with the lenses for what you have in mind. The group I shoot with is full of Canon guys (but also we all use dslr's too). Only thing I see is the cheaper lenses. With a fixed lense camera thats not a concern. I'm a holdout, since my first commercial shoot, in 1989, sold to a magazine that I am sure is on the filter here, I've used exclusively Olympus stuff.

Any of the Olympus Stylus series are awesome point and shoot digitals. One of my friends got sent to India on short notice and she got a Stylus 500 at Walmart. Less than $300. 5MP is plenty for anything smaller than 8x10 prints. The new Stylus 1000 is even weather proof (which would have saved me a thousand bucks if my E-1 was) The image sensor and software in the Stylus 500 is almost comparable to what my EVolt 300 DSLR 8.1MP (and as good as my E-1 5.0MP which is my main portrait camera) will do and she spent megabucks less than I did, lol. Of course the money on the DSLRs is in the glass. Thats one of the main advantages to Canon or Nikon, if you want a DSLR instead of a point and shoot, just so much selection of affordable lenses.

Just remember, megapixles arent everything. Its like measuring horsepower. Theres a lot more to a great camera than the dots.....
