I have that Canon PowerShotA400. We have a love/hate relationship. Can't do action, no extreme macros, focus is slow and with 3.2 MP the quality aint so hot:) However i'v exposed it to water, fire and has been dropped many times. So it's mighty surdy!! However to make up for the lack of quality, I have to be creative with my shots and learn how to make use of those 3.2 MP:) Ohh it was also ultra cheap^^;
