I want one for a webpage of myself and friends. Is there somewhere I can go to get one, or do I have to suck it up and buy (or find someone) with a digital camera?
Mundane enough for me to keep it out of GQ.

If you have access to a scanner you can take a conventional photograph and have it digitized (turned into a .BMP or .JPG file) so you can use it on a website.
Here in Atlanta, Wolf Camera offers picture disks (for a price) when you get a role of film developed. The service is probably available at most major camera/film places now. I’m pretty sure they could make one if you took them the negatives.
I bought a digital camera just for that reason (personal web page). I went to K-Mart and bought one with a flash for $90 (with a $10 rebate!!).
A few pointers:
1) If you buy a camera, get the lowest resolution available. Cost for digital camera is due to resolution and storage, and the more resolution, the more storage needed!
Monitors (the primary source for viewing web pages 
) are pretty much 72 dpi (dots per inch). Any picture you post, regardless of the resolution will be viewed at 72 dpi. For this reason, get a cheap, low resolution camera – IFF you plan on using it only for web stuff (home page or e-mailing pics to family).
**2) **If you scan in a picture, use photo software to save it as a .jpg file (smaller memory storage requirements) and reduce the resolution to 72 dpi or so (see above)
**3) **If you are going to buy a scanner (to be used exclusively for web page population) buy a low end resolution scanner. This is sort of moot, since even high res scanners can be gotten for cheap.
I have a Poloroid Fun Flash 640 SE that I like, but the software (ArcSoft) does NOT load on Windows ME (::arrg, Bill Gates:: :mad: ). I haven’t found a patch for it yet. I may have to go back to Windows 98.
Doesnt Kodak have a digital-picture service?
I thought it was possible to have the pictures from a roll of film digitized directly on cdrom.
If you plan on publishing those pictures on the web you’ll need to bring the resolution down to 72 dpi. (as suggested by previous posters.)
I paid $8.00 for a Kodak reuseable camera that comes with film & battery from Longs. Then I have Longs process it onto paper & floppy disk (24exp) for $5.00 for both. Is cheap, but the quality varies.
The OP wasn’t too clear what they wanted, though.
