Answer 1

Stick with Canon.

Under $200 - A-Series 540 or 530 (both Use AA batteries)
Under $300 - SD-Series 630 or 600 (li-ion batteries = better)

if the printer accepts memory cards, typically, it will work with any camera. some don't take xD cards (for fuji/olympus) but you can get an adapter.

I have had and used a number of digital cameras in the last few years. I've used 3 different Kodaks and 3 Sony and 1 Fuji. Some got stolen, some weren't mine. I found what was important to me was size (something small enough to comfortable fit in my pocket so I actually took it with me) the size of the LCD screen so I could see the picture I was taking and had taken, the capabilities of the batteries to last long enough for a day or two of picture taking and viewing, and ease of use. Although more pixels seem like a big deal, I am not a photographer, and most of my pictures are simply snapshots for my own enjoyment. At that level 5-6 mega pixels are just fine. The more pixels, the more you can enlarge the photo and crop out crap and keep good stuff. I did that like twice. I found bigger more complicated cameras were hard to carry around comfortably, and were a constant worry about getting stolen. I also just didn't know enough to use all their capabilities. I love my little Sony DSC-N1. It's the size of a pack of cigarettes, has a huge 3inch LCD screen, and has 8 mega pixels. The batteries last a good long time, and the battery charger is easy and quick to recharge. The touch screen controls means its instantly understandable about how to take pictures. It only has a 3X lens, which is one thing I would change, but that probably would mean a bigger lens, and more camera to carry, so maybe not. I did like my 10X lens camera which let me get much closer to distant details. I had a photo printer with one of my cameras, and discovered it cost too much for me on paper and supplies. I would rather send pictures in to a service online, which was much less expensive. All the brands were good, but I like Kodak for ease of use.

It is really all based on how much information capacity that you have within a given area on the photo; the standard unit of measure for photos is a pixel. If you want to enlarge a picture, you would want to take a picture with a higher MP level; otherwise, you will get some blurry results.

Most cameras will be priced based on two items: megapixels (MP) and its zoom capability.

Most photo printers should work well with most digital cameras. Some even allow you to simply insert your memory media (i.e. Compact Flash, etc.).

Getting a dig cam for 200 ok
first you will get only dig cams which has 4.0 - 5.0 pixels.
Pixels enhance the clarity and the superiority of the picture. The best brands are of course SONY & CANON. but the latest is going o cost you about 500$ these cams have 12.0 - 15.0 megapixel clarity that looks real and life like no blurs no colour fade but going within 200$ then go for a Canon Power Shot

When buying a digital camera the best place to do research is actually Flickr because they show you all the pictures and usage per camera. Look here: http://www.techroam.com/need-to-buy-a-digital-camera/

more pixles the better(6m or more)
get one with a viewfinder(not only LED)
DO NOT get one that uses AA batteries
