RE: Getting a new camera
I have an older Sony camera - a DSC-W50 - it's been repaired once, and my sister's was repaired twice and then broke again, so we replaced it with a canon. She managed to break mine and hers on the same weekend, but has a way with cameras, and cell phones, so that may not be the best durability metric. It's not a horrible camera, but the only reason I had mine repaired was because I have a waterproof enclosure for it.
My biggest gripe with the Sony camera is that the memory stick pro-duo dosn't fit into any card readers without an adapter, where as most card readers now will read a standard SD card no problem. It's ok if you always remember your adapter, or always use USB, but it drives me nuts. I think the Sony you're looking at will take an SD card, so this may be a moot point for you.
