Are slim Sony digital cameras fragile?

Hi, I am about to buy a new camera and I saw a Sony one on discount at on this DSC-T20 (http://www.dpreview.com/news/0702/07022704sonyt100t20.asp). I know that Sony delivers good quality products but I heard they are quite fragile. I needs your comments! Thanks. http://www.digitalcamerareview.com/default.asp?newsID=3026

1. you want tough camera? get an Olympus... my preference is Canon or Nikon... never Sony..for Digital camera...
2. all digital cameras are fragile. just look at all the questions about cameras not working. the majority is because they bumped the camera on something.
3. Tom Tom is on the money. No matter what company, don't dare drop the camera; because if it works after dropping consider yourself completely lucky.
4. Yes, they are all fragile. Some may be more so than others, but they should all be handled with care. Here's something you should definitely watch out for. When placing the camera on a table or other surface, make sure its strap is not hanging over the edge. It's too easy for someone to accidentally snag the strap, sending the camera crashing to the floor. I've seen it happen.
