Digital Camera?

HI!
I am getting a digital camera but nothing too fancy! It’s for pics with friends, special occasions, or just fun family pics! I am thinking of getting this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=7694082 I read over 55-100 reviews of this camera and there are some problems public keep saying are:
1. Shutter Lag (i figured out how to make it better)
2. After some months it BREAKS!!!!!!! (Public said when their battery is dying in the middle of something it the camera shuts off and the lens gets stuck and it breaks!!) How can I stop this from happening to me?
3. It eats up the battery quickly!

So….. I was wondering if this would be better for me and my budget ($ 100! not going over 100)

I looked to see if it was near where I live and it isn’t!!!!!

What ever you get, also buy a excellent set (four) of rechargable NiMh batteries and a charger for the camera.

Watch the numbers on the batteries. The higher the power the better.

Public reviews on that kind of camera are worth a grain of salt. Public who have no thought on how to care for a camera can easily break them without really trying.

If its your camera, don’t lend it out.

Shutter lag is when you question the camera to focus and take the pic at the same time. Press the shutter button halfway down to focus, the rest of the way to take the pic.
