    Need a new digital camera

    Well the screen on my old one got smashed that I lived with for a while but last week it stopped taking pictures altogether and I can't see the screen to find out what it wants.

    What I'm looking for:
    Cheaper is better, I would rather not go over $200.
    I don't need much in the way of quality, I think the Photosmart 720 I had was 3.2 megapixles and only very rarely did I turn it up.
    I do want video with sound.
    I want somthing durable, this thing took a beating before it quit. It's been dropped an incountable number of times, it gets thrown around the car, it's fallen out of a tree, and none of that ever hurt it. If any stores bestbuy, circuit city, etc offer an insurance plan that covers being smashed, dropping in water, etc that works too.

    Ideas?

      It's Canon. And... don't buy Sony... ever... for anything... (except for that rare exception when they make something decent).

      But it from bhphoto.com or adorama.com

                It's been in may trees and on roofs/walls, etc for various reasons. Sorry people, no voyerism.

                I found this which looks decent

                This one looks like it would be good too but doesn't have the optical zoom or video.

                    That's probably a lot more camera for a little more money huh?
