My Top 10 Lightweight & Durable Digital Cameras By   [89 more lists]

These are the Dan Merkel Gallery-approved recommendations for the best lightweight and durable digital cameras. Because you don't always want to carry your big ol' SLR everywhere. Note that none of these have less than a 4.0 resolution, because if you're going to go less than 4.0, you really shouldn't even be bothering with a camera at all. Or at least, not anything bigger than your phone camera.

    Solid, sturdy and dependable. Which is a good thing if you're as clumsy as I am.

    It's a little heavy, but it's got the heft you need to get a good picture.

    i had this camera for 3 years with no problem. but last night my 3 year old dropped it on cement and that was all it took was about a 2 foot fall with the camera on and the lens out. now it doesnt turn on and the lens will not go back in and looking for a new camera now. I would not rank it in my top 10.

    The lens on this thing is surprisingly well built considering the size. Comes in some cool colors too.

    Another good purse camera. Not the camera you want for a big photo shoot, but just fine for snapping 'pix' on the go.

    It's an SLR, so it's gonna be heavy. That said, this is about as lightweight as an SLR gets.

    Love the clarity of the screen on this one.

    It's a Leica, so you know it's good.

    This camera is adorable. Not the world's best resolution, but perfect for throwing into a purse and taking out for a night on the town.

    The combo of resolution and weight is pretty good, and the price is definitely right.
