Olympus Stylus 600...it's water proof. I do not regret getting it...I'm glad my son broke my HP.

Depends on what you're looking for. Do you want an inexpensive easy to use and easily replaced when lost camera? Or do you want a "real" camera? I personally bought an Olympus C-765 a couple years ago and have been happy with it. Also, keep in mind that buying a decent size memory card so you can take more than three pics will be expensive.

If you are buying a serious camera, I would suggest also getting a good padded carrying case, at least one additional battery and as large a memory card as you can afford.

Hi,

Mine is a Canon. Try looking at Cnet or Amazon for user comments.

The pictures of the Hornet that I posted a link to a little while back were taken with an Olympus camera.  You can get a feel from those about pic quality.  They were taken at the second highest quality setting.

Canon rocks.

I have an SD450. It can fit in a shirt pocket and still take great shots! [X(]

You mean the pictures aren't fuzzy when you take them from inside your shirt pocket? [:D]

I have an Olympus C-765 also and I'm very happy with it.

The shirt pocket comes in fine. Don't know about anything else. [:D]
