Need good camera for teen

[paper1225]

I need ideas for a great "teen proof" camera. We need two of them so preferrably one that comes in different colors. Bought one of the girls a camera for Christmas 2 years ago and it is not good at all.........Only wanting to spend up to $150 each-any ideas?

My daughter has a Sony Cybershot. It fits in her pocket and takes great pics!

There is a Nikon S3000 that comes in multiple colors. It takes pictures, videos, has a motion sensor, red-eye fix, etc....this is a wonderful little camera. Lots of places have them onsale right now for about $120. We just got this one for my daughter to replace an old nikon and she loves it.

I'm very happy with my Cannon SD1200 that I bought last year. I'm not sure what the latest version of it is but I bet you could get the latest for $150 or less. I had the choice of colours when I bought my SD1200. I love that it's compact, has a rechargeable battery pack instead of regular batteries and takes the refresh rate for repeat pictures is pretty quick. I'm also happy with the quality of the video, not that I use that much since I prefer to capture quick pictures and watch the events rather than watch events through the screen. One other thing that was a must for me was a physical view window. Most cameras don't have these any longer. This one does.
