I likewise purchased a 4040, ostensibly for my wife to use. Everything Dave
says is correct. I've been rather stunned at some of the images it has
captured for me. I am, however, a somewhat grizzled old codger, and the
menu atop menu, plethora of options is just a wee bit intimidating. I'm
sure I've only explored about one half of one percent of what it's capable
of so far.
Got mine from the local chain (Camera's West, which is now part of the Ritz
'monopoly'). I paid just bit beyond your stated high end.

I am interested in finally breaking down and purchasing a digital camera
I recently spent some time and had lots of input from the list re. getting a
digital camera. I ended up with an Olympus C4040. It is a 4.1 Megapixel
camera with 3x optical zoom. It has many useful features and is very light
weight; uses AA rechargable batteries. It uses SmartMedia cards. You will
need to spend at the top end of your purchase price range, but for your
application I think you will be very pleased with the photos it produces.
There are several reviews of the camera on the net. I got mine from an eBay
store new with US Warranty card and all bundled items as shipped from
Camedia
in the factory packaging, sealed.
I'm sure you will get other opinions about this, and finally you will have
to
"punt" and go for it. I did and the photos are real nice.
