Shopping for Digital Cameras

A communications faculty member suggested that the humanities division purchase a bunch of inexpensive digital cameras for students to check out. We’re thinking of buying 5 or 6 cameras in the 2 megapixel range. Obviously we want the students to be able to use the cameras with a minimum of fuss, so they won’t be distracted or frustrated (after all, we won’t be grading the quality of the pictures, as we would if we were teaching a photography course). If anybody has suggestions, I’d welcome them.
