Longer Focus Time

I've owned a Canon Powershot 300 for 3 years now and the time for it to autofocus seems to keep getting longer, meaning I'm missing action shots or my kids actually looking and smiling. Is this a common thing that's just wear and tear (soon needing to be replaced) or something to troubleshoot? I know digital cameras are not the fastest to begin with, but this is getting to be rediculous.

I'm going to have to agree with Ron, although I've never actually heard of this problem. Time to get your camera shopping game on!
