A friend of mine had a Canon 40D that he dropped from 3 stories up onto concrete when a step on a staircase in an abandoned mill broke out from under him. It literally exploded when it hit the ground. That's part of the game, it's no different than the risk of crashing your car every time you take it to the track.

That. Really. Sucks.

I guess thats something you risk when doing that stuff. Like you said, no different from taking your car to the track.

Good post though, answered some questions I may have had about cameras.

That last bit about the budget is what's really going to hurt you.

If you're at all interested in getting a decent camera to actually get into semi-serious photography with, I'd suggest picking up an entry-level SLR, either the Canon Rebel XS or the Nikon D40. I'm a Canon guy myself, but there's nothing wrong with Nikon. There are other brands out there, but those two are going to be the best supported.

That said, if you're looking for something you can slip into a pocket, an SLR isn't going to be it. I don't like point and shoot cameras, but they do have their uses, and for someone who isn't looking to drop a bunch of money on equipment, they'll usually work fine. If quality is important, then you're going to be sacrifice it by going this route due to the sensor size. Despite that camera shooting at a slightly lower resolution than mine (I'm guessing 9MP?), there's no way that the image quality (let alone functionality) even compares.

Unfortunately you can't get the best of both worlds (believe me, I tried once), and I really can't tell you what to buy without knowing what you're really looking for. What I would suggest is saving your money and buying a decent SLR later on, you really can't regret it if you have any interest in becoming a better photographer and producing better results, but at the same time you have to be conscious of that $500 piece of equipment you've got around your neck, or are leaving in your car, or are reaching over that railing with, etc, etc. A friend of mine had a Canon 40D that he dropped from 3 stories up onto concrete when a step on a staircase in an abandoned mill broke out from under him. It literally exploded when it hit the ground. That's part of the game, it's no different than the risk of crashing your car every time you take it to the track.

What Im looking for is something I can slip in my pocket easily,has a quick zoom (one thing I hate about my camera on my phone),something that takes pics around the size of what was previously mentioned,something thats semi-durable,like my dads Nikon (read below),and something thats good at taking pics of moving objects
Im really not looking to become a better photographer now,but maybe a few years down the road,I will
All I do now is take car pics anyway,lol,but Im considering taking pics for next years State Fair,since I saw a photography exhibit when I went 2wks ago

My dad has a Nikon himself,and he let me use it.I liked it,but the zoom knob on it kept getting stuck (since hes had it for a few years),its too big for my pocket since it takes 2 AAs,and the size wasnt too great (640x480),but it had good quality
My phone camera is a good camera when it isnt zoomed in,at 2.0MP (and the size is great too,at 1600x1200)
For example,not zoomed

Zoomed

See the difference?
If you need another zoomed image,take a look at the silver E60 M5 i posted here the other day

And you were close on geussing the MP for the Casio,its 8.1MP

Well, as I said, I'm not one for point and shoots, but I'd say look at either the Canon Powershot or the Nikon Coolpix series and see what you can find. The Powershot looks like a better camera spec-wise, but I've never used either so I couldn't tell you. The best thing you can do for a camera at that level is get something that you find easy enough to use and change settings on.

That's what happens when you have a deceivingly invincible car and a driver who has no idea what they're doing.

Not to mention tire feedback is probably so dulled in that car that it's hard to tell what it's doing.

The black z31 that says CFT across the top of the windshield has about 850hp and the other very clean Black z31 has about 240hp but is a real show car.

Mazdas have crap OEM paint.

93 VR FDs are the worst.

Mazda gave the 94-95 FDs better paint, but it still IMHO blows.
