Best Digital Camera for a special school

[kevin]

Our Sony Mavica FD 200's are coming to the end of their life and I was wondering what everyone else is using in schools. We have the CD-500 model, but its incredibly slow and difficult to use, for staff that is.

Anyone recommend a robust, user friendly camera ? Thats not worth nicking?

Thanks

I have to say i'm very impressed with the HP range of cameras, might not be necessarily what you are after, but i'd thought i'd add my 2 penneth

we bought in some chunky Fuji camera's the quality of picture was very good i think we had the 5MP one and they where cheap aswell to get hold off

We use the Kodak range. What evers cheapest at the time of buying a new one.

If you want something fairly robust and simple, the Digital Blue Snap! cameras are pretty good. Seen them in use in a nursery by 3 and 4 year olds, and all have survived so far! I think they are 3 megapixel, and around £80 each.

We bought some fujis for art they have optical zoom but the lens is contained in a housing so the moving parts are not susceptible to dust etc...

That model has been discontinued now though.

The fuji range that look like dslr's

Thanks for the replies. Thinking of purchasing four Fuji, because, as you say they are fairly robust and chunky
