Subject: [Leica] First digital camera for my son?

In Canada, there is a chain of discount electronics stores called
"Future shop".  About 2 months ago, I stepped into one, and they had
plastic-packed digital cameras for less than $100 CAD ($80 US), and I
think the were 1 meg sensors.

I'll bet that the price has dropped into your range, and that there are
equivalent discount electronics stores in your area.

The names aren't Nikon, Canon or Leica, but some electronics brand.  

Just browsing at Amazon:  $19 :

$47:

The future is frightening, isn't it?  

And it doesn't take $2300 to make a Leica.

thanks to everyone - but I am looking for a <$40-50 digi cam, one
button, 
durable camera!
I think they exist..

Buying a bunch of disposable (the word alone gives me shivers..) cameras
is 
prob best.
