I decided that I still need to have a cheap point and shoot digital camera for smaller occasions and lighter short trips. They are also good for self photos and nights at the bar. I will not be taking my SLR to Belize since I will only be there for a week.
I got a Canon A530 (same as I had before) on ebay for $47 shipped. I am familiar with it and liked the quality of images that it produced. If it breaks or gets wet I won’t be too upset since it was cheap. I also got a hard case for it for $7 on eBay as well. Not bad!
