I have a few questions:
How good is it?
Can you record movies on it -- with sound?
I'm not a huge enthusiast or anything; I just want something fun -- would this be any good?
If the answer to these questions is "no", can anyone recommend to me a good, cheap digital camera/camcorder?
Also, is the software for the camera compatible with vista?
Answer
This is a very entry-level camera, and the phrase "you get what you pay for" more than likely will apply here. It's a 5 megapixel camera, which is a little behind the curve in the modern digital camera market, and it has a 2" LCD, which is also rather small (2.5" is really standard, and there's actually a significant difference between the two sizes), so composing pictures and shooting video may be a challenge for you.
In terms of video, yes, it does shoot with sound, but the maximum clip length you can shoot is 3 minutes at the lowest quality, so I don't know if that would affect your decision.
I can understand wanting a budget camera, but I feel that this camera is just behind the market curve, and so you are purchasing a camera that is already virtually obsolete at this point.
If I may make a few recommendations, save up a little bit and consider these cameras:
Canon Powershot A560- the successor to the camera you asked about, 7.1 megapixels, their newest image processor (DIGIC III) with face detection built-in (this is a new "must-have" for digital cameras), and a 2.5" LCD. $135
Panasonic Lumix DMC-LZ6- 7.2 megapixels, 6x optical zoom (2x more than the Canon), but the same 2.0" LCD. This camera, however, comes with Panasonic's OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), which can help get sharper pictures in lower light. $140
I think if you saved up $25-30, you could get a budget camera that is right at current market technology levels.

Answer
The answer is NO. All (or most) digital cameras have both optical zoom and digital zoom.
Digital zoom should NEVER be used because all it does is allow you to zoom in on the image via software that's in the camera...which means your images/videos become very pixellated and look horrible.
Most Canon cameras DO NOT allow you to zoom in optically while recording a video. But...they DO allow you to zoom in digitally while recording a video (usually around 3 or 4x). Which means the quality will be quite poor.
So, that tells me that Jill (who has this camera) has her digital zoom set to ON. I would advise her to turn it OFF...unless she doesn't mind the crappy quality that digital zoom produces.
Once again, the answer is no. If you want to be able to zoom in while recording a video, you need to look at one of Canon's other super-zoom cameras, instead (e.g. SX10 IS or SX1 IS). Or, buy a camcorder...
