Well, after a series of unfortunate events I'm in the market for a new camera.

My favorite camera I've had so far was the Canon Powershot S400. Compact and blazingly fast processor. this was my first camera.

After this one started acting up (mode selector switch broke after many years), I started using the Powershot a320. More megapixels was nice, but the camera was noticeably slower to operate.

After this one got dunked in water twice(florida dunked in water, then soaked during ice fishing) the buttons stopped working. I've been using my dad's old Nikon 8800. Gorgeous pictures, but the camera was very sluggish. Last week, I got the dreaded "system error 2" which has plagued this model and redners it inoperable... Actually, Muskibait was the first to notice it was having issues while he was taking pictures of the silver redhorse last weekend

So... I'm open for suggestions on what camera to get next. I'm looking for good macro capabilities to get stunning close-ups of fish. Something compact... and not top-of-the-line in case it gets damaged.
