    Thumbs down Argghhh, can't believe I have dropped my camera again :o(



    Ohhh, I am so not happy (

    Over the last few months I have been using three old cameras, just taking the memory card out when I swap. Clumsy me though, I've managed to drop all of them in a mad rush to get photos ( I now only have my mobile, which doesn't have that good a camera and I don't really want other people's children on it

    Arrgghh, I could cry

    Can someone please tell me of a camera I can get which can withstand me and three toddlers as this is getting really expensive and I'm pulling my hair out!!!!

    Thanks Xxx

    what about a childs camera like a kidizoom? If its okay for kids to use, maybe it will be okay for you with your butterfingers!!

    I have a panasonci luminix tz3 it's been dropped many many times, unfortunetly they don't make them anymore (modern versions have less metal in and not so good with being dropped) so you would have to get one second hand, I got a second hand one from eBay as a second camera and that's been dropped quite a few times too now, both cameras are still going strong

    i've got a canon powershot that is held together by sellotape! its very battered and bashed. DH keeps asking why i don't keep it in its case?

    ''cos i can't take photos when its in its case!'' plus, it fits nicely in my pocket on its own, it doesn't in the case!!!

    I dropped 3 expensive ones in a row a while ago... so now I have a second hand one from EBay - it didn't cost a fortune, it's a good enough camera and of course I haven't dropped it yet

    Hehe thinking of getting a cheap one on Ebay as well! It's good to know that I'm not the only one who drops them though!

    My husband keeps saying why isn't it around your neck? Hhmm, simple answer, because when I lean over to talk to the kids, it hits them on the head!!!! Good enough answer?!! LOL!
