Digital camera parameters:
1) use it to take pictures of my Lego creations
2) the pictures will be no farther away than 5 feet
3) they will not be printed out in any type of quality
4) they may go on a website (when I get one)
5) the camera must be sturdy enough to take moderate use AND abuse
6) I am willing to spend up to 800 dollars
7) must have some sort of internal memory
8) USB connection is a must
9) NOT be a battery fiend

hope this helps people
