Racking Brain between Sony DSC P200 and a W7... here is why...

Here is why I cant decide between these two:

1) I am clumsy. I drop things all the time. I have a 3.1 MP HP camera
that I drop all the time, and take fishing with me, and treat like
crap, but it still works (though takes terrible pics). Ill keep it for
the fishing trips, but I hate to spend $300+ on a camera when I know
Ill be dropping it... how durible are these DSC cams?

2) Blur. My favorite transformer character, but my least favorite type
of pics to take. Ill go back to my HP cam. The slightest movement of
your hand causes severe blurs. I read these DSCs do too... is this
something a college graduate can figure out how to avoid on these
sonys?

3) I am maybe thinking of abandoning the SOnys altogether. I have a
collection of 128 and 256 SD cards which i now learn are useless to
these DCS models and I will have to buy the more expensive PRO
sticks... bummer... of course my other choice, the nikon coolpic 7900
doesnt take these cards I have either...

any suggestions?
thanks in advance.

ps... raise your hand if you remember the "Blur" character introduced
in teh Transformers movie...
