Snoopy

i think i lost my olympus stylus tough-6020 so im on the prowl for a new one. wasnt as tough as it was made out to be since i had to replace it with another one halfway through my deployment in afghanistan. apparently it doesnt take to sand and dust too well. but it took decent pictures and generally did the job.

since i wont be putting another camera up to those conditions anymore, a simple point and shoot should suffice. dont really need an slr or anything along those lines since i wouldnt know what to do with it. looking to keep it under $500 if possible but open to options.
