I need a more sturdy camera than the Canon Powershot SD630?

Question

My Canon Powershot SD630 recently broke, and the people at the camera store said it is beyond repair. I will be buying a new camera soon, and am wondering which camera to buy. I am in love with the interface, screen size, shutter speed and sleek design of the Powershot, but this is one of many times it has need to gone into the shop. Do you know of a similar camera (within the same size/price range) that has similar features but is more sturdy?

Thanks!

All cameras are delicate instruments.  Do you have a small case for your camera?   Do you always use the wrist strap?  Are you sure to place it where it won't fall on the floor?  Maybe you should learn to take better care of cameras.  I have had a camera of one kind or another since I was 11 years old with a Baby Brownie, and I have never broken a camera or dropped one.

I have a Powershot that is 2 years old, and it still works just fine.  I would stick with the kind you like and are familiar with, and just be more careful with it.  Good luck.
