I used to have a Kodak EasyShare, but I dropped it and now it doesn't work, so I need a new one, but I want to make sure that my clumsiness won't set me out a bunch of money. Thanks!
-Helen There are only several compact cameras on the market that are designed to be durable, and they're not less than 150. Therefore, I can't make any suggestions that fit that requirement. If you're still interested, the Olympus 770 SW which is waterproof, crushproof, impactproof, and freezeproof.
However, Canon makes a slew of quality budget cameras. Here are some suggestions: Canon's A460 for an ultra compact model, A550 for compact model.
Hope this helps. Keep in mind that cameras are delicate pieces of equipment, and you should be more careful with them (unless you want to shell out for that Olympus.) Even though I personally own this camera, I would still like to highly recommend the purchase of a Nikon Coolpix L10 for the following reasons:
1. Besides taking well-exposed hi-quality 5 megapixel pictures, it uses a standard set of rechargeable double AA batteries which last a very long time;
2. Has a 3x optical zoom;
3. The flash setting for "red-eye" correction is on the navigator wheel and not within a submenu;
4. It's very small and light;
5. Uses inexpensive SD memory cards;
6. The digital video feature takes wonderful "sound" videos which are noise free. It records the piano very well with it's built-in microphone;
7. It comes with a USB 2.0 transfer cable which you connect to your USB computer port;
8. And the price is a mere $120 [sold at Samy's Camera - www.samys.com, and Staples.com.]
Good luck! I hate to type everything so just one example. For $150, if you have limited budget, here is one I would consider.
Samsung 7.2MP Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.5 LCD
for $142.27 (new)

I bought mine from this site and if you don't mind refurbished cameras, you can find great deals there.

Hope this helps. I agree with Jonathan about the Olympus 770. See this link for more information:
