Digital cameras

I have a cheap Kodak 2.0 MP model. Worked OK. For what I need, anyway. But the bottom contact for one of the batteries is busted. Always had problems with it. Maybe it was designed for special Kodak batteries and not the regular rechargeables that I use. So every now and then I'd poke at it and now it's gone bye bye.

So what's a good camera to buy now? Nothing too expensive. Maybe 4 or 5 MP. Don't need movie mode, unless they all have it. One that's a little faster too. On mine you had to wait quite a while between shots while it was saving the image.

Another Kodak? Canon have several models. Physical size is not really important. Any advice is appreciated.

My son just purchased a Canon 510 from Newegg for about $175. A great little camera with many features.
