Cannon power shot- BROKEN

This is the second Cannon Power Shot Camera we have had. The first one broke, so Eli surprised me and got me a second one. Well guess what, now the second one broke! I guess that just goes to show you that if you own one and it doesn't work very well maybe you shouldn't buy the exact same thing again. They both have had lens problems. I never really loved this camera because I feel like my pictures were always blurry. We are thinking about getting a Cannon Rebel, but now I am scared because I haven't had very good luck with Cannon cameras, anybody got one they LOVE? Let me know.
