I had a waterproof tough camera in 2010,  not bothering with it this year.

for sub 200$  i went with the Sony H55 and i am VERY pleased with it.   10X 
optical zoom,  14 megapixels,  beautiful photos, with a large clear lense
not great in low light with no flash;  but no camera in that price range is.

i've been useing it a lot, and certainly it does not compare to my F828,  but 
it's been remarkably good for the price.  dropped it once about 2 foot onto wood 
floor and no sign of damage ; )

I would love to get some advice about buying a camera for my 2011 thru-hike.
I am looking for one that is light-weight, durable, $150 range, takes good
(doesn't have to be excellent) pictures, and is easy to use.

Also, what have you done about memory cards?

Thanks!


Ethan

hello ethan i would second the cannon powershot series. they are great
cameras, light, cheap $180 and work great. i only use the lithium batteries
as they last way longer than alkaline. as for memory i think i will get
several cards and ship them to certain spots and ship the full ones home.
