I know that many of you have recently researched buying a digital camera...so I would like to pick your great brains: My sons' birthday is coming up and I would like to buy him a camera (so I can see my grandaughter grow up!!)... but I cannot see spending tons of money on a camera that will only be used for family stuff...something, say, under $200. Any suggestions? I say this because if there is a way to break a camera, he will find it...sort of the bull-in-a-chinashop syndrome.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!! Need a point-and-shoot uncomplicated but good.
