For now I just stick w/ cheap (~$50) cameras that I buy used on ebay. Mine are two or three generations old, but still take fine P&S photos. I drop them a few times a year, but that never really breaks them. The sensors go bad before anything else does. I'd feel differently if I had a Leica or such. -- Cheers, David Redlands, CA "Bicycling is a big part of the future. It has to be.
