[font "Courier New"][#000050][size 2]I got a Kodak EasyShare C713, 7.0 mega pixel from Wal-Mart for about $95. It's rather compact, I can fit it in a jean pocket.
Has lots of nifty features, including video... you can chose which pixel resolution you want (7 gets you only 10 pictures, while 1.2 gets you 47...of course, lower mps give lower quality, I rarely go below 3), You can put an SD card in, and it saves a lot more!
Batteries last a while, but then again, I only turn it on when I'm actually going to use it, rather than just leaving it ready. It has an auto shut-off for 3 minutes, which probably helps save battery life.
The only thing I don't like about it, is the "re-load" time. You take a picture, then have to wait about 10 seconds for it to be ready for the next. 10 seconds may not seem like a big deal, except when you're wanting to get a shot of wildlife critters that move before you're ready!
I don't know if it's water proof... haven't bothered trying that aspect (even accidentally! LOL)
