Canon A470 camera is easy to use and has good result but it’s not durable, the lense easily got broken. The main problem is that when your battery is low, it would result to “lense error - restart camera” until the lense can’t retract. The mechanism on lense retraction is not good. The camera should have a reserve energy to retract the lense when accidentally switched-on if the battery used is low.
Anyway here are some photos of my retired Canon A470.

It’s so nice to visit the elementary school where I graduated last 13 years.
I feel great seeing the beautiful place and remembering the wonderful moments of my childhood. Also I’m so glad and proud to see the trees we have planted, all had fully grown up beautifully and lovely. The site is cool and refreshing.

Pathophysiology: Cone shells are carnivorous; they eat other mollusks, worms, or fish. Their habitats extend from shallow, intertidal areas to extreme deepwater areas. Cone shells are predominantly nocturnal, burrowing in the sand and coral during the daytime.
To capture a much faster prey in a highly dynamic marine environment, this relatively slow-moving snail has evolved into one of the fastest known hunters in the animal kingdom, with the average attack lasting only milliseconds. In an attack, the cone shells inject a cocktail of small, rapidly acting paralytic and lethal oligopeptide toxins, each 15-30 residues long, into the prey. Almost 200 different conotoxin peptides have been identified to date. The venom mixture is specific to each cone shell species, containing 30-200 conotoxin peptides. Numerous disulfide bonds determine a specific spatial shape for each toxin. Thirty cases of human envenomation, with occasional fatalities, have been documented worldwide. Human envenomations have involved 18 species of cone shells, including Conus geographus, Conus aulicus, Conus gloria-maris, Conus omaria, Conus striatus, Conus tulipa, and Conus textile.
