General Comments

I've been using the Canon Powershot A40 digital camera for 3 years. The picture quality is excellent, but it eats batteries - rechargeables are a must. It's rugged, having survived a few low level drops.
The camera has the features most people want i.e. point and shoot, and a flash.
The auto focus is sometimes painfully slow, perhaps even up to 10 seconds, worse in bad lighting, but this is an old camera now.
It may now be outdated, but it has proved to be reliable and very useful. I would buy a Canon again.
