about three years ago, i paid $400 for a canon. i can't remember the model. i hated that thing. when my wife left it out and my son ruined it, i was annoyed, but not terribly so.

the coolpix s6300 that i need to replace took awesome pictures and was easy to use, for ~$140. better than the cannon, for sure. i still have an OLD coolpix that i use. frankly, i think it takes better pictures than that canon did. in short, i have a bad taste in my mouth from that expenditure of $400. and the canon was fragile, my son killed it with no visible damage to the exterior. it took my dog three tries at the s6300 to ruin it.
