Digitized cameras

["Kathryn K. Lafferty" <klaffert@PEN.K12.VA.US>]

  My school plans to buy a camera to use for multimedia
  production using Mac 5400s and 7200s or 7500s.  One person said we'd be
  better off with a regular camera, and to just have the pictures
  developed onto a CD.  She said we could take unlimited pictures
  this way by just taking extra film along, and that the quality
  of the pictures is much better.  However, that would give us
  the added expense of buying film and having it developed, along
  with the wait time for developing.  I would be interested in
  hearing opinions on this.  I would also appreciate
  recommendations for which digitzed camera to buy with a small
  budget.  If anyone knows of any articles that have rated them,
  please let me know.

  Thanks!
