I agree with Shonda...they're real workhorses and use either a floppy disk
or a memory stick. We have one at home and in spite of its "clunkiness" we
love it. Just toss a bunch of floppies in the bag and you're good to go. My
husband is a paleontologist and this is the one he grabs when he goes on a
dinosaur dig. It's very rugged and gets banged around a lot and just keeps
on working and working...whoops, that's another commercial!

We also use the Sony Mavica digital cameras for student / faculty use. Like
Reggie mentioned they are inexpensive and are relatively easy to use. They
don't require any hook-ups (connections, wires, etc. that can get lost) and
most anyone can use them without needing additional assistance.
We haven't had any stolen but we do have them checked out for long periods
of time. Right now we have three for our high school (and probably need
more). I would recommend them if you want a "work-horse" camera for
students / faculty at a reasonable price.

We like the Sony Mavica digitals. They're less than $200 around here, I
believe. They're bulky, which the kids don't care for, but they use a
standard floppy disk which is very nice when multiple users are involved.
They can just swap the disks in and out depending on need. Because they're
NOT small and stylish, we've never had one stolen!

Our school would like to purchase some very inexpensive cameras for student
