It takes great pictures, cost is so low that that it with me from the moment I get dressed to the moment I take my pants off to go to sleep.

I have been through the $1500 SLR camera phase, and while at Mardi-Gras a few years back a beer was kicked on the balcony above and ruined my $1500 camera. From then on I decided that my cameras would be practical and tactical. Inexpensive yet functional. I know to the photo-buffs out there, this will make them cringe... but the sub $150 Kodaks are tanks and really take fine pictures. If ya break it, smash it, or jump in the lake with it..... you throw it way and move the memory card to your new one. No tears, no emotions, just replace it and carry on.
Hell no doesn't make me cringe! That's just planning ahead by not taking a big $$$ camera into a place where they could get smashed or something. Risk > reward in a situation like that. Most point and shoots do a damn good job these days
