there are many choices of digital cameras out there in terms of price, manufacturer, megapixels...there are a lot to choose from...the one you got was probably one of those no name ones which is why it doesn't work anymore...try and stick with the big name manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, Sony, Leica, Olympus...which have made quality digital cameras for quite some time now...You'll be paying a bit more, but these digital cameras shouldn't "break" that easily...
for starters, you could go with the one i have...Sony DSC-W50 ...good build quality, isn't that expensive (isn't that cheap either)...so the price is in the medium range for "point & shoot" digital cameras... hope this helps...

You are not going to find "better" for $80. Here's my standard answer about Canon Powershots.
Consumer Reports for November 2006 has ranked the Canon Powershot A620 as the best compact digital camera. It is becoming almost a legend for longevity at the top of various consumer lists. It looks like this model has been replaced by the A630, which I would expect to be just as popular. The A640 appears quite similar and shares the "600" series numbering, so I guess it's just another upgraded version of the now-classic A620. It looks pretty much the same except for baing a 10 MP camera. The continuous drive is a little slower, but the files are larger, so that's no surprise. I own a few Nikon DSLR's and I'd buy the Canon A630 or A640 for myself.
With this camera, you will find the memory card is a cute little token of thanks from Canon, but not much more. Buy a 1 GB Sandisk Ultra II or Extreme III card. You will NEED the increased capacity and write speed to fully realize the benefits of your camera.
I would suggest you check out this page. I think you would be very happy with the Canon Powershot A430, but go "upscale" if you budget allows by choosing one of the others I chose for you.

I think it all depends on the person using the camera, and the primary purpose of the camera. You'll often hear people go on about the most expensive digital SLR cameras etc, and while sure, they do take great pictures, in the wrong hands they can take some of the worst pictures you've ever seen.
I say go for one that feels right in your hand, perhaps buy one with a mini tripod to eliminate the shakey effect, and one that you can comfortably afford. Get used to it and once you learn the ups and downs of the camera, start to shop around if you desire.

the olympus line is very useful and even has a water reistant model which can get an underwater housing and some models have extremely great modes like picture through glass and very good low light settings.
