If you've never owned one before, I'd start with a point and shoot. Something like a Kodak Easyshare. They're easy to use and you can get one with a high resolution (8-10 megapixel) for a decent price. Here's a few Best Buy carries. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....p=15&iht=n
You want something with at least a 3x OPTICAL zoom. Digital zoom means absolutely nothing.

A point and shoot camera will work for what you mentioned. However, if you think you might use your camera for taking other types of pictures, you might consider stepping up to a dSLR.

Nikon, Canon, and Olympus would be my preference for PnS cameras. What are you considering a "reasonable price"?
