Well, either my Fujifilm S5200 would have to count, or it would have to wait till I go back to the States in December for me to participate... then I would have to dig out my old 2mp point and shoot...
Although I can't knock the camera too much as it has treated me well even though I treat it like crap. It was the camera I took to my trips into the rough areas of Haiti and Dominican Republic and has been dropped on rocks, on ice, on pavement, in snow, in water, etc. Sometimes it takes a couple of switches of the power to get it to turn on, then you hear a horrible rubbing noise as the lens tries to come out (sometimes you have to try a couple of times), then you have to hope that it will be one of the days where it tries to auto focus, and try to take the picture.... :)
Although, unless I get some nice money soon, I will probably be taking back into the Haitian plateau again in March, and in the refugee villages in Dominican Republic in July as it is very unsafe to take a camera any nicer than that, and many times it is necessary to have a camera that you can just toss in your pocket.
P.S. for the curious, here are some unedited pics from Haiti to show you some of the conditions it is used in: //www.personal.psu.edu/wjb170/haiti.htm
