RIP Sony Cybershot 7.2

well, with a 4 year old and a 5 year old it was only going to be a matter of time before it happend. somehow :rolleye1: my camera managed to get broken. the intruder only attacked this one item; everything else went unmolested.
according to what all data I can find online, something is jammed inbetween the telescoping lense housings. I've taken apart what all I feel comfortable with and still cannot fix it.
While I'm really wanting a Cannon Digital Rebel, I know our finances are limited in this matter. anyone have a "point and shoot" camera that they might recommend?

I have a nikon coolpix s230 that I like. The pics are good quality the screen on the camera isn't to great. It's touchscreen that works really well.

They are running about $150 at Wal-Mart right now.

Thanks Darleen (I'm terrible at spelling so if thats wrong, please don't sick the hubby on me). I noticed the camera was dead when I tried to take a picture of my newest (and LONG overdue) investment; an ReefKeeper Lite v3. It's soo darn pretty. Now, not only is my problem setting up said controller, but trying to pay for a new camera. Granted, this one was 4 years old (bought new when Merrick was born), but I like to buy stuff that is in the "Good" to "Great" range because i don't plan on buying another for many years.
All that being said, I might have to open up the tank for more fragging!

If you are looking for a low price family camera, then you should check out this one. My wife likes it and gets decent pics. Hard to beat Optical Image Stabilization and over 12MP Canon for $129. If it gets messed up by they kids, it didn't cost enough to off them.
