I don't care if it has a titanium skin, bulletproof glass for lens and little parachutes that deploy if the camera is dropped. :) It's gonna break. Here's an interesting question, what about repairs to digital cameras? Usually when many electronic components break, etc, that it's sometimes cheaper to buy a new one. At DSLR prices, or any decent digital P&S, let us hope that isn't the case. Brad Dobo
