I ordered the camera online and the screen didn’t dispaly anything. Later I found that my cousin had the same camera and she had to trash it because the battery would die very fast even though she took the pains to buy a new battery for it. I purchased a canon since I thought it was a reputed company and would care about their customer or technical support. But the truth is that they don’t even have a technical support number listed anywhere. So thats it with Canon products…

Have had this camera for 4 years.
Has been good, but compared to newer models, a lil’ bulky and slow.
Takes Compact Flash card.

Have since upgraded to the SD750, which is awesome.

This camera was fantastic for four years. Then it died — all the photos I’ve taken in the last few months have been pink.

I bought this camera almost 4 years ago, and I love it in every way. It takes great pictures, uses a rechargeable battery and is great on battery life. I go about 6 months without having to recharge the battery. I would say I take a medium amount of pictures.

Recently Dec. 2007, I went to go take a picture and the screen was blank with a few purplish lines running through it.. My icons showed up, but there wasn’t anything in the LCD. When viewing playback pictures, those pictures show up in the view finder. I recharged the battery and tried again, same thing. For a while, I thought I would have to get a new camera.

I called Canon support (for the other reviewer, I found the number very easy to find, 1-800-828-4040.) After going through their voice prompts, I got a customer service person right away. No wait! Plus, the rep was in Virginia, so there weren’t any of the typical issues that happen when customer support is located in India (like HP).

I described the problem, the rep helped me reset the camera, it worked for a few seconds. The rep told me to keep taking pictures for a few more seconds, because the fix may be temporary, and sure enough, the picture went blank again. (IMHO, most customer service departments would try to get me off the phone the second it started working again).

Long story short, there is a service advisory out on this camera, it turns out that the “image sensor” may malfunction. Canon is paying for the shipment back to them and they will fix it for free. No muss, no fuss. It didn’t even matter that I had the camera for almost 4 years. This was one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had.

If your camera starts acting up like this, call Canon right away.

Canon was not able to fix my camera so they sent me a BRAND new one, a SD900 , a much much better camera. My camera was not under warranty anymore, but since it was the “image sensor” issue, Canon still covered it. Amazing customer service, very rare these days. They just earned a customer for life.

Please be advised that this model, along with several other Canon digital cameras, is subject to an advisory issued by Canon regarding a “CCR Image Sensor” defect. A part in the camera made by Sony is susceptible to a loose connection. In shooting mode the image appears as a purplish/black distorted image. Canon stated in their advisory that this would be fixed free of charge regardless of warranty expiration. I returned my camera to Canon repair and just received a repair estimate of $109.62. I am very disappointed with Canon’s response to this. Google “Canon customer complaints” and you will find a long list of customers with similar complaints about Canon repair services. I am about to drop out of the technology revolution.
