For digital: I've got a Fuji Finepix 2650 2.0 megapixels and its just fine for all I'll ever need. 2 big reasons I like it.
#1. Viewfinder. Its got a real viewfinder that responds to zoom, so when its too bright outside to use the LCD screen or when we're in the car, or trying to take pictures of something thats moving, the viewfinder is great.
#2 Battery life. This camera takes 2 AA batteries and they last forever. We took a week and a half in Florida and I changed the batteries after the 5th day because I forgot and left the camera on over night attached to the computer. Battery life is a big thing with digicams. My Dad has a Sony and on AAs his slurps down batteries quick. The Sony battery is like $50 and he refuses to buy it and the charger for another $50.

For 35mm. The generic point and shoot will disappoint you now. They've added so many features they had to make the lenses cheaper to keep costs down. Disposable cameras however are surprisingly good. Especially the panoramics which surprised me by actually using wide format film.
If you want a professional type 35mm (slr) look on eBay for a Yashica. I got my FX-3 with a 28mm, 50mm and 75-200mm zoom plus flash unit and a case to hold it all for $130 shipped. After a couple months it needed new foam inside which was $50. The camera itself is increadable. On par with the Cannon A1 for 1/4 the cost, a good A1 body goes for $100, then lenses, then flash, then case, etc. For what it is my yashica can't be beat, just a less popular brand.
