Molly, you got plenty of very good indications, all of them lead to one summary:
- choose a good camera (with good technical comments available -on google you can find them)
- don't worry about the original weight of the images (many times -but not always- more pixels allow more detailed pictures), because there are plenty of mechanisms to reduce the weight before sending the picture to your friends
- thus: separate the choice of the camera from the necessity of obtaining small images to send; the first goal is to get good pictures, all the rest is feasible later...

Thank you dinasset, that makes sense. I guess I know enough now not to let the amount of pixels bother me.
