I just don't understand the complaints!!

I have had Nikon SLR film cameras for years and then switched to the Coolpix digital series when they first came out on the market. I really got tired of carrying the entire camera bag w/ lenses all around so I switched to a point and shoot digital. My next to last digital owned was a Nikon 5700 which by the standard of the day was supposed to be pretty darn good. I wanted a camera that I could take with me on the Motorcycle and beat up a tad and subject it to elements that I did not want to expose my more expensive Nikons to. With that said...
This Canon A75 has lasted me three plus years and it has spent most of its like on a Harley about three inches away from a set of hot pipes. It has been dropped...jostled...cooked and STILL it takes beautiful pictures. The controls are laid out well and the best thing is that it still takes AA batteries. I HATE rechargeable batteries...especially when you are on a trip and have no access to an AC charger and forgot the 2nd battery at home. This way I can stop in at any 7-11 and get a fresh set of batteries. No muss..no fuss.
The only complaint that I have is that the LCD screen is too small and gets completely washed out in daylight conditions. That is why I am looking for a new digital to replace it. Plus...just like a car..a guy needs to trade in his old one for a new one...just cuz' it makes him feel good. Something newer, bigger and better!! I read the complaints and honestly..I have had more problem with my Nikon that is barely used (maybe 200 pictures) then I have ever had with my Canon (1000's of pics). I just got the Nikon back from the factory. They had to replace the CCD. It just died one day just like all the complaints on this post. That camera retailed for $1000!!! I'll stick to the low cost alternative. I paid $249 for the camera...that's $6 per month to own if it died today! I think I can afford that!!
