As you will be directed to many links that will help you.

Here is a list of what You will need to get started

Digital Camera $200.00 to $2000

Editing software $25.00

USB card reader $25.00

Digital camera tutorial CD $20.00

Extra flash cards $20.00 to $200.00

Rechargable batteries

Digital Camera, first time setup: Is the easy part, you can expect about an hour or so to taking your first pictures. Fuji and Canon are generally known as better entry level cameras. Olympus may be a better choice for high end camera's. I'm currently using a Kodak DC 215 with a two to one Zoom lens. The DC 215 sells for under two hundred dollars and has done a great job for what I need in a camera. More on cameras later

Digital camera tutorial CD: Purchase this first, Trust me on this one. I still refer to the CD when I get stuck. You can see a live preview of what you will learn ~~> The digital Pro. Click here after you go there you can clic Demo or "download to view".

Photo Editing software: IS what I burned up many hundreds of dollars on, not to mention countless hours. Between the later and a barrage of e-mails from my website friends and family is what prompted me to do this editorial.

Microsoft Picture It Express, Adobe Photo Deluxe and so on, are very popular photo editing software programs. When it comes to acquiring , viewing, resizing and adjusting images, you may find these software programs falling short of what you will need later, not to mention cumbersome to use. I now use "Ulead's Photo Explorer 7 Pro " exclusively. Sooner or later you will need a program that will resize, file, and upload multiple photos. You can see it at The Digital Pro's Clic here website, there is a link there. The Digital Pro's Training CD also show's how to use this software, which makes it easy for you.

USB card Reader: Forget purchasing any extra cables, you don't nor will you need them with a twenty five dollar card reader. Using the the USB cables shipped with the cameras is the number one complaint received by the manufactures.

Laptops and card readers: Most laptops come with a PCMCIA card reader that slides into a PCMICA slot in your laptop, therefor all you need is your camera memory card reader adaptor.

Compact memory cards: Removable storage devices (Stores photos in your camera). I've had problems with the off brand compact flash cards (Centon). Currently I'm using Kodak with no problems. Be sure to reformat your flash cards after you erase them each time. More on types of flash cards and how much storage you need later.

Fuji digital cameras: The Fuji 2600 is a pretty good buy at $270.00 or the Fuji 2800

at $373.00 For the last two years I've been using the Kodak DC 215 Great camera for under $200.00. Circuit City has the 2800 for $349.00

Memory Cards: You will need extra memory media cards. Cameras that use floppy disks for storage sounds great however you can only get 3 to 10 photos when your camera is set on high resolution. Smart media cards or compactflash cards are a great way to go. For vacations you may want at least four memory cards, 16 MB minimum.

I would recommend the 64 MB cards. 16 MB cards will hold about 20 to 30 photos on high resolution. I use 3--16Mb and one 96MB cards. This seems to be adequate for most vacations.

You can also use memory cards to transfer any file from PC to PC.

I hop this helps you a bit
