Double

Got my A70 repaired. Got it within 7 days. Was about to buy a new one... hopefully this should serve the needs for a few months

Canon repaired our A75 and S400. I was about to take them to the recycling center when I discovered this thread.

G9 $275
XTi $350
+ tax and $10 shipped for both.

I'm sending in a S50 and S410 for the two above cameras. It's better than having a 4 and 5 mp camera sitting around. No need to send in any batteries/chargers/cables either.

Just called Canon and got offered for my sd750 the following choices with prices..
which one should i go for

SD890 $150
SX110IS $175
PowerShot G9 $275

thanks in advance

Called yesterday. for powershot S30
they offered:
SD890 $150
PowerShot G9 $275
XTI with lens $350

Wondering when they will begin to offer XS or XSI

To be honest, I really would prefer something smaller, but S5 is a very nice camera (duh) and my son really likes it. He got named the official yearbook photographer after bringing it to some high school football games. We've also gotten some great shots at baseball games.

confirmed that they do not replace the S1 anymore. my S1 just got the CCD malfunction, i sent it in and the rep said dont be surprised if i see a black S5 in its place... but i called the service center and the rep told me it was just repaired, not replaced

These were the same options I was given today for my S400.

Just called about my A40. Was given the option of the A580 for $75, the SD1000 for $!00, or the SX100IS for $125. I'm actually looking for a new digicam and want something with IS, so that rules out the A580 and SD1000. I also want something compact, which rules out the SX100IS. I might trade in my A40 at a later date, but right now none of the offerings are what I'm looking for so I think I'd rather spend the extra money and get exactly what I want.

I just got an estimate of $157 to fix it, no offers of any other cameras
For a little over $200 I can get a brand new SX110IS so I'll have them send my camera back. Not sure what I'll do with it.. maybe get someone local to look at it. I was really hoping for a decent offer of another camera though.

Have a s2is also. Hasn't happpened to me, yet?, but I noticed this on the ratings and reviews sections on the canon s2 page.

Black Screen of Death fix

"We have been very satisfied with the camera until a couple weeks ago when I got the dreaded black screen of death. Believe it or not there is an entire website dedicated to this problem. Search for canon s2 troubleshooting and you will find the site. The fix is to do the following. Set you dial on top to TV. Once you are there set the exposure to 1/15. The way to do this is to click the dial on the back of the camera to the left. There is a fraction listed at the bottom of the screen towards the left. As you click you will see the fraction reduce. Stop at 1/15. Then, take a picture, count to seven and then open the battery door and remove batteries. Put them back in and turn the camera back on. Not sure how someone figured this out, but after trying this once, it worked. For others on the site I found it took an hour. The issue is a stuck iris. Overall, we have been very pleased with this camera and with the black screen fixed, we are still satisfied."
