digital cameras

I need to get myself a new digital camera over break. I have had a few different ones, but i always seem to lose them or break them. The good news is, each time i purchase a new one, they keep getting better and better. There are so many new advancements in the technology of cameras anymore. There will not be an end to this either. I am looking for the most compact camera with the least amount of buttons. I am sure i will have brand new one in time for the St Patrick's Day parade!
