My Review 

I bought the Canon SD600 to upgrade from my Canon S400.

I liked it right away because everything was intuitive right out of the box.

I never needed the manual.

It gave excellent results and continues to impress me with great pictures.

I long ago passed the 100,000 picture mark and was told the shutter life couldn't possibly last much longer, but I still take a couple of hundred pictures a week with it without problems.

I considered upgrading again to the SD4500, but the old camera still is performing so well, I don't see how I could get better results.

Glad to hear it's working so well for you -- that is a long lifespan for a point and shoot camera!
