R.I.P. DSC

Well, my old Sony looks like it's finally done for after being dropped
one too many times (3 total). It took a few decent photos, but sure
wasn't very durable compared to other cameras in its price range. I
found out it was done for a little too late and missed a pretty decent
shot because of that.

Bummer!

I just recently sold mine and got a Canon PowerShot A530.
I sold my DSC-P73 (4.1 MP, 3x zoom) on eBay for $110 and bought the A530
new for $130 (5 MP, 4x zoom). I had to spend another $50 on a memory
card (comes with 16 Mb), but that got me 2 Gigs which give me room for
something like 700 full res photos or even a couple of hours of video.
So far I'm happy with it.

Cameras aren't ment to be dropped. Lenses are precision optics and will
easily be shifted when hit in the wrong direction. It's nothing wrong
with the camera compared to others, it's just you beeing careless.

I've never dropped my cameras. and my 10 year old slr with a five digit
of photos behind it has barly scratches.

We had a Canon Digital Elph...can't remember the model but it was one of
the early ones, stainless steel camera body. It was dropped several times
even onto concrete & survived all but the last one. Took a licking & kept
on ticking.

Sorry, just burst out sometimes. If you drop something that have a lense
made out of 5-6-7-8 elements (like a camera) three times and complain
that it's not rugged enough they should be looking for something created
with careless owners in mind, like:

http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1225

"SHOCK PROOF (5 ft.).
If you can take it, it can take it. Its durable exterior and interior
construction absorbs impact brought on by a drop or other accidental
trauma so your camera and images are protected."

I've dropped my Olympus digital numerous times, had it get rain soaked at
least twice and it still takes great photos. My wifes Sony takes horrible
photos and has from day one. Maybe if I dropped it it would take better
photos......

Orkans aren't meant to be drop-kicked either, but you sure are making a
fine bid for that.

Ok, I'll pity you today, just because you are severely retarded. It is

Ok, on with your usual "LOOK EVERYONE, MY HERO IS PAYING ATTENTION TO

If you're OK with a simple point and shoot camera, you might be able to
find a leftover Sony DSC-U60 around. (The camera is just out of
production.) It's a very simple, waterproof camera with a hard plastic
case made out of the same materials as Sony's rugged versions of their
walkmen.

I carry mine in a cell phone holder mounted on my Camelback pack strap.
The camera is waterproof, which also means that it's dustproof. I just
wash mine in R.O. filtered water whenever I pick up too much trail
dust.

I'm going to go with a DSC-P32. They can are very inexpensive and all
of the cables are compatible with the camera that died. Grabbing one
on eBay that has no accessories should be a pretty easy task for very
little money.
