Digital cameras

[Kelly Cassidy]

I'm thinking of purchasing a digital camera.  I'd like to be able to take pictures of birds (far away) and plants (close up).  Prices on cameras range from $100 to $1000.  How much resolution (2MP, 3 MP, or 4MP) do you really need?  For birds, how much zooming power do you need?  

And a really stupid question from someone who should be more technically savvy:  Does my computer likely already have a USB port?  Is that the printer port?  

Thanks, 
Kelly
