I've had disappointing results from sub-$200 digital cameras, regardless
of software and OS used. I have an Olympus D460 that cost me $299
several years ago that does fine; controllable exposure and focus
settings (important) and both optical and and electronic zoom. Works
fine with GPhoto. I believe there are now less costly Olympus models
that have many of the same features.
If you get one of those little USB card readers and use a camera that
stores images on smartcards (which most do), Gphoto compatibility isn't
an issue as long as your kernel is recent enough to recognize a USB device.
