Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for baing a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.
With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera.

If you want to trim the budget a little, the Canon Powershot A430, A530 or A540, are all great choices. You will need a decent memory card, though. I'd say get at least 512 MB.

I'm 15 and i have been doin pictures on the grounds that the seventh grade. I'd say move with a Nikon or Canon digital camera. I've shot with each. Nikon D40 is what I might advocate. It's one of the vital lowest digital camera's your going to get with a reliable contact. It's weight is variety of heavy however with a dSLR what are you able to assume.

I bought a Fuji 5 megapixel camera and it was easy to use and I got quality prints and the software with it was great.

If you plan on emailing a lot of them then the kodak easy share z760 is a good choice, if not then the nikon coolpix will do a bit cheaper but no as many options.

Yes a 5 or 6 mp camera will do great. If all your doing is taking family photos and printing 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10 photos thats all you need.
