Michelle,
I am currently using the HP200c digital camera. I can shoot a photo of my painting in my studio and have it up on my website in three minutes. I use adobe 2.0 to edit my photos (trim and resize) and adobe 5.5 LE to try out new compositions and colors when creating a new painting. I intend to upgrade eventually to a better camera ( thanks Mary and Daniel for your suggestions) but all my photos on my website were shot with the HP200c:

E-Bay is currently selling this camera for around $150, the best price I have seen. It originally retailed for $300. Btw, I recently saw photos printed off the computer using the
HP1000 colorsmart printer (possibly my next purchase) although the HP1280 is supposed to be even better. Looked just like prints! Hope this helps.
