Digital camera recommendations?

[polygon]

I'm in the market for a digital camera, with the idea of making possibly thousands of images I can use on the Web, with high physical reliability/durability, high quality (within obvious limits), minimal hassle, and a cost of no more than about $400 or $500.

I don't currently have Windows 98 available to me (nor do I expect to in the near future), which as I understand it limits some of my options. I do have a couple of machines with Windows 95 I can use to store and ftp images to the (Unix box) web server.

i got a polaroid pdc640 a year back for about $170, but that was a huge discount for some reason. excellent camera. it'd definitely be under $400.

What's the interface for getting the image files from the camera to the computer?
