Season's Greetings Evolt'ers

Want to get a fairly simple digital camera as a gift for my mom. It's going
to be pretty much used for taking pictures around her apartment, and some of
the critters outside of her house.

I *would* like her to be able to print out some of her images if she wants,
so i'm looking at at least 2 megapixels, right? Probably 3?

Anyways, I'm kinda looking at either a Kodak CX4230 or a Fuji FinePix A205.
These seem to be kinda ok for a lower end camera. Anybody know anything
about these, or recommend anything better?

Or should I really REALLY try to give up optical zoom/etc and get 3
megapixels?

I have been googling/etc, but now its coming down to crunch time. Getting
kinda nervous.

As always, thanks folks,
