I bought my first digital camera mainly for taking pix of my meeces, and I've never regretted it. It has a feature you can use in automatic mode that makes it easy to take pix of meeces; the symbol is a stylized flower, and it automatically focuses on the most prominent thing in the frame. Exposure is automatic, so all you need to do is select a place with fair ambient light and that combined with the flash gives pretty good results. My cam has zoom (most or all digis do, I guess) and you can take closeups, but you have to have either a very steady hand or a tripod to get something that's not blurry.

With digital, you can take as many pix as you want and pick the best ones to show off.
