Need help finding a digital camera for my husband's Christmas gift. Any ideas?

My husband has a digital camera he carries everywhere with him...but he is very frustrated lately because it is slow and has quite a bit of lag between when he pushes the button and when it actually takes the picture. So he has pictures of our toddler AFTER she has finished the cute moment. I would like to surprise him with a new model, but I'm having a hard time finding one that is fast enough and meets all the requirements he has for a camera:

--small enough to fit in his jeans pocket

--fast (previously mentioned)

--sturdy (again, so it can be in his pocket)

--easy to use (he gets frustrated with technology when it doesn't do what he wants)

--mac compatible

--Comes with a case or has a compatible case that can be purchased

--Decent zoom

--Decent resolution

I am looking to spend about 200 dollars, but for the right camera I would go higher. If anyone knows of a good camera that meets those requirements, would you let me know? Thanks!

    I bought my daughter one of those Fujifilm Finepix cameras that looks like an old 35mm. Can't remember the model number but the camera got great reviews and it is awesome. Had it over a year and no problems! I bought it at Wal Mart. Good luck!
