Cameras/getting started in digital

Question
I would like to get started in digital photography. I want to take simple photos, print them out on my hp deskjet, email them. What equipment will I need and equally important, what is the best way to acquire some basic knowledge?
Dave,
Hello. Thanks for the question.
I've a feeling that you want to actually know more than you are stating. Because the answer to the first part of your question.... "what equipment will I need" is obvious. All you need is a camera, a computer and a printer. I also usually suggest some decent photo editing software. If you want to know more about equipment, narrow down your question and I'll be glad to help.
As for basic knowledge I suggest you start with some good books. Get one that covers the basics of photography. Then one that goes into digital. John Hedgecoe is a great author.

Expertise
I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.
