Hopefully I won't murder again
I think I've got Joe beat, at least when it comes to killing stuff. I've managed to kill two Canon Elph cameras and 5 iPods in NYC. I dropped my iPod into a toilet, down a flight of stairs, plus crushed a camera while on a roller coaster. Plus we shouldn't ignore my numerous incidents of dropping babies down stairs. Maybe I'm just twitchy from all the caffeine.
I've decided to get something more durable. My aunt and uncle basically bought this one for me, but with a proviso that I buy a case, which is also on order. Supposedly I can drop this from 5 feet, or drop it into 10 feet of water, and it will be fine. It even can take movies underwater. It has all sorts of cool features, including an internalized zoom lens.
I still can't guarantee I won't drop babies. I just recommend keeping them away from me.

Sorry to state the obvious, but that's a friggin' awesome camera! A lot of MP, too! I know you had that "Ohhhh man, I'm goin' to take a lot of pictures and videos w/ my new baby," feeling when ya opened the box, huh? Congratulations on your new camera. Plan on buyin' a lil case for it so you can at least add a couple of feet of height endurance in case it falls?

and it has digital image stabilization so that if you shake like head-on-a-slinky katherine hepburn you can still get great shots.

are you going to test the 5ft drop and 10ft of water - or just go on The Man's word? : )
...and I avoid babies at almost all costs!

As you know G, I just killed my 7 week ago baby by sitting on it. Cracked that bitch right open. And that one was also 7MP. BOO ME.
