Re: Bought the SX40 HS but DROPPED IT!

So far I'm quite happy with the SX40 , and usually I'm very careful with my cameras. You could say that I'm a little OCD about being careful.
Well as stated in my response, the worst thing has happened. I picked up my camera from the kitchen table and the strap hooked the chair, pulling the camera out of my hand. It fell to the side of the chair and hit the floor, so about a 2 1/2 foot drop! I immediately checked for damage and everything seems to be working fine. Although there is one thing that I'm worried about now. I'm not sure if this is normal, but when I half press the shutter button to focus, I can hear the lens making a slight clunk-clunk noise as it focuses. Can someone tell me if this is normal or have I damage something? I'm not sure if I noticed this before but besides that everything seems fine. Please let me know so that I can settle my mind
