Okay, okay, we’re kidding — we definitely think it’s quite an achievement that Canon’s hit another camera milestone and shipped out 100 million compact digital cameras since the PowerShot 600 first rolled off the line in 1996, and it’s no secret that the PowerShot line’s terrific image quality and friendly UI have a lot to do with it. Still, they’re fragile little buggers, aren’t they? A quick count amongst Engadget eds reveals at least 10 broken Canon digicams, ranging from a 2000-vintage PowerShot S100 all the way to a more recent PowerShot SD850 IS, and we know we’re not outside the curve — have you felt our pain? And, more importantly, do you keep coming back for more? Let us know in comments!
