What digital cameras are under $100 but have great quality?

I bought a really expensive digital camera last Christmas and it broke right after the warrenty was up. I gave up on spending a lot of money on digital cameras. I need to know where I could find a cheap but durable camera under $100. Please help if you have a great digital camera that was reasonably priced.

I spent weeks researching, and after reading numerous glowing reviews, from consumers, and professionals, it seems Canon PowerShot A series are one of the best, in their class for features, it's alittle more expensive, please take alook at these reviews

and the image quality, is superb, This camera is a great point an shoot camera, but it also has loads of additional functions,within the cameras manual mode, that makes it a cut above the rest in it's class.

Some of this camera's many features include, face recognition, red eye fix , image stabiliser, movie mode, it can even be used under water, ( with the aid of separate casing) to many to mention here. but really a top little camera, for the money

    I bought a Samsung at WalMart for a trip to Florida and paid $118.00 for it. It has good functions and is battery powered so I didn't have to worry about recharging it, just carrying extra double A batteries around. It turns out good pics and I like it plus, after 3 years, it is still going strong. Perhaps something like that at WalMart will suit your purposes better. Hope this helps!!!

    to be honest with you–none. you get what you pay for. sorry. it all depends on what you value: good pictures, or saving money.

    Unfortunately, all cameras are fragile.

    If you mean is there one that you can toss around carelessly, you can't even do that with a $1000 camera.

    Look through all the questions regarding broken cameras and you'll see what I mean.
