Basic point and shoot with these minimum settings:


Canon Image Stabilization

Minimum of ISO 400

8+ Megapixels

No touch screen

In-camera flash

Macro setting


That's basically it for us.  Image Stabilization, ISO, and flash are features to balance light (what photography is all about).  These are the most important features because taking photos inside cars is always dark and the best time to take photos is actually in the evening.  Touch screens can get tough to use in the dead heat of July and August in Virginia Beach - they don't like sweaty fingers.  Macro is a necessity for taking pictures of the odometer and any other close up items.  8 Megapixels really isn't that important because you're taking photos at 640 x 480 pixels, but anything less than 8 Megapixles is typiacally a POS these days.  Oh....and another important thing.....Point and Shoot camera for speed, agility, pocket-ability, and less worry when it breaks.
