Chris, I was in need of a good point and shoot. I need to pick this bad boy up and take it drill sometime. The Army can be harsh on their toys and I wonder how this will hold up? Thanks.
I can’t speak to this specific model, but I had my canon powershot (7.1mp) in the front pocket of my jacket when I dumped my motorcycle. Initially the lens cover shutter deal wouldn’t close because of the dents in the camera, but after slightly pulling the dents out, the camera has worked flawlessly.
Canon makes them some good cameras! I miss the seal rating, though. A 4 is better than a 3 or 3.5. Just saying “Buy” doesn’t give you the granularity of info I might need.
