It depends what you want it for. For fairly standard stuff like a little
photo of your ugly mug on your website, a digital camera is quite good
enough. It's even good enough for "artistic" use as long as you know what
you're doing with image processing. If you know it's going to be a 200x200
JPG there are corners that can be cut. :)
