The one thing I would avoid is the cameras that have the lens that feeds out when powered up. I purchased 2 Canon Powershots for my classroom because they were a step up from the Kodak Easy Share cameras that I have. Once Canon lasted a week, as the first time it was dropped the lens dented. $100 down the drain. Do you really need a classroom set? I have 6 cameras for my classroom and they are rarely all checked out at once. When I give an assignment some students rush for a camera, others wait…

Once Canon lasted a week, as the first time it was dropped the lens dented. $100 down the drain. Do you really need a classroom set? I have 6 cameras for my classroom and they are rarely all checked out at once. When I give an assignment some students rush for a camera, others wait 2-3 days and work on other projects. Somehow it just all works out. One important purchase is a card reader - students plugging their cameras into the computer works for a while, but it took less than one semester for 2 cameras to have the pins bent. Rather than stress about them, I just have them use the USB card reader - no problems so far! And extra sets of rechargeable batteries so you always have backups! We bought Hamilton cameras.

Yeah, that would be the way to go, BUT, here in the good ole USA, at least in our High School;cell phones aren't permitted to be seen OR heard during the school day for ANY reason. Don't get me started on the reasons why.

What proportion of your pupils have cameras on their phones? Here in the UK it would be 100%. Personally, I would spend the money on something they don't already have.

I am a huge fan of Canon. This year our school foundation bought 6 Canon Powershot A460 cameras for the school They are very simple to use and do everything you asked. Cost around $100.

We recently purchased a bunch of Kodak EasyShare C613 for classroom use. It has 6 mp with 3x zoom (zoom is easy to use) It uses AA batteries and we used some of our money to buy re-chargeable AA batteries (better for the environment!) and a few chargers for the classroom. The camera are very simple to use and we haven't had any problems yet! I think the picture quality is good, all of our pictures so far have just been point and shoot and they turn out looking good.<br />

The camera also take videos, although we haven't played around with the videos too much.<br />
<br />
And its cheap-$75 on Amazon. Perfect for our budget, and it gave us the money to buy rechargeable batteries and memory cards.<br />
