I purchased a Casio Exilm Ex-Z1000 about 5 Months ago and have had an absolutely wonderful experience with it thus far. At around 249$ this camera is an Awsome buy. The quality of pictures that I have been able to take, has been comparable or better than those of any Huge cameras that my freinds own. All of the exilm series camera are small, easy to use, and have great quality. The one down side to such a small camera is the lack of major zoom. However the 3x Optical zoom has proven to be more than sufficiant for any every day shots. Due to the fact that the camera is 10.1 Megapixels, i was able to take a picture of a butterfly from about 4 feet away, then later zoom in using the camera's and cropping function, was able to see in clairity the individual hairs on his body. I have traveled to both Austrialia and the Bahamas with this camera and have yet to be dissapointed in any way. It uses SD memory cards, which are widely available and at a reasonable cost. I would suggest a 1gb or more card, just due to the fact that once you start taking pictures, you will not want to stop. I purchased the Sandisk Extreme III 1GB card, which allows me to take about 230 pictures. Another nice feature of the camera is the fact that you have a decent quality video feature built into it. While i wouldn't recomend recording your child's first steps with it, it's a great feature to have for everyday use. I will be glad to show you some examples of the photo's I have taken using this camera if you would like to contact me at icyblue1986@yahoo.com I tell all of my freinds, about the nothing but wonder experience that i have had with this camera, i would certainly recommend this model. The image quality and convenience more than out weigh the lack optical zoom. I would personally recommend this camera if for no other reason than the convenience, being small allows you to have it with you and get a shot of something rare, as where the bulkier SLR cameras sit at home and collect dust. Hope this helps, Good Luck!

Ten years, that's a tough one, and it does depend on how much you shoot. A pro who might shoot 5000 images every month in some godforsaken place will wear out the mechanicals of a camera quite rapidly, in under 3 years. If it's hard use that you're subject your camera to, then you need to get a tank of a camera Nikon D3/3S/3X and Canon 1DmkIV and 1DsMkIII would be the type of camera you want. You'll need a weather sealed lens to go with it. Even then it's not going to be indestructible. If you're really willing to splash then a Leica M9 system may also be an option, the Leica is a more spartan camera which means less to go wrong. If you're going to use it in extreme conditions, then you have to look at pure mechanical cameras, and shooting film, maybe a Leica M3, which has no electronics to break. If you're going to baby your camera, and only take it out when the sun is shining, and the weather is warm then I'd imagine the current Canon 550D (or any other entry level SLR) and kit lens would probably do the job. Of course it goes without saying that between the 550D and the 1D there are a lot of cameras that can stand up to varying amount of abuse, so it really depends on how you want to use the camera.

If you're not getting into photography real big the Fugifilm FinePix A500 would be a good bet. It's between $120 and $130. Try Beach Camera on internet. They have it for $109 + shipping. It's a 5 megapixel camera, very good on batteries, optical zoom is 3X. Don't forget there's always that memory card to buy. Buy more memory than you think you may need. Only drawback is that there's a 3 second delay between shots. Hope I helped a little.

Look into Canon. Good Quality. Good Selection. Easy to use.
Point and shoot works well. The one I have (S70) is discontinued but it's a great camera. Check out eBay also. Happy Birthday!

Three things to take into account only:
(1) How much you can afford
(2) a good well known brand
and (3) no need to buy one with higher than 5 megapixel resolution. You cannot go wrong then.
