I have a little Canon S200 Elph - has a decent macro (though the autofocus beam at <6" is rarely on the target) and has been through hell and back for 5 years and never skipped a beat (knocks on wood).
I inherited it from the wife after I bought her a smaller cuter more megapixely version of the same - cannot recall the model number of hers at the moment - but all our pics posted here were taken with the older model.
