I am looking to purchase a reasonably prices digital camera that can last.  I have purchased two in the last two years but both have been broken because my family drops them.  Everyone here seems to know a lot about many things so....anyone have any suggestions on a durable, decent, reasonably priced digital camera.  Just take vacation pics, racing pics, family pics.  ;D

fuji E550 or it's updated version is a great compact piece. It has taken great pictures for us. You may want to check out the consumer reports report for a more informed decision.

I don't think you are going to find a digital camera that will still work once dropped. Good luck. if you do get a new one don't let no one else hold it. and make sure you use the wrist loop thingy when in use. prevents droppage.   

I've purchased 3 different models of Sony over the last 3 years and have had problems with all 3.  Recommend you don't buy a Sony camera.

I've had REALLY good luck with HP's photosmart line of cameras, I can't tell you how many miles mine have ridden with me and one even took a spill that broke the hood of my helmet, but still takes good pictures.

Thank you all for your input.  I will make sure I dont go with Sony (lol) and look at the HP's. 

sounds like any camera will work for ya, if you just wrap it in bubble wrap before letting your family hold it.  :P

I have a Sony Cybershot 7.2MP camera forsale if your interested.  Comes with Camera, Case, 512MB card, battery and charger and cleaning kit.  I have had it since March I believe and I've used it only a handful of times.  Has a LithiumIon battery that lasts a long time between charges instead of crappy AA batteries.  Looking to get around $175+ship for it.  Paid 200 for the camera alone.

Fuji fine pix S-700 or S-5200 both are great camera I have a S-5200 and I love it best camera I ever had my friend has a S-700 good buy at wal mart around $229 or check on line for better deal later.

Gonna have to pass on the Sony....thanks anyway Rebel.
Why exactly are you willing to sell anyway?  Just curious.

I want a Canon Rebel XTI.  Its a SLR camera, more professional.  I want to sell this one cause the one I want cause upwards of about 800bucks.  And thats not including accessories that will cost probably 500more ???

It is imposible to break a Canon in my opinion. The A530/560's are pretty cheap now and take awesome pictures.

i dont know the xact model but i have a friend that has a cannon it takes really good pictures. if it helps the flash bulb flips up from the top....dont know how much it is. but it takes good clear pics.

We hire a police sketch artist for family outings. It's much more preferable than a camera.

That sounds like a Canon S2 / S3 IS. Awesome camera with major zoom!

Kodak is an american owned company and I like keeping the money here.My daughter got a great deal on a easyshare camera kodak on ebay.Was $125 and she got 7 megapixel with a gig of memory and a case.

I just bought a S3IS off eBay for $170.  Want a slight upgrade from my Cybershot before I get my DSLR lol.
