    "Canon quality? Well wasn't the case for me"

    by Wjmitch on May 3, 2005

    Pros: Great photos

    Cons: Slow flash recharge, camera broke after little over a month of use

    Summary: Bought the camera as my wife and I were expecting our first child. Enjoyed it for the first month and then the display was blank when I went to take pictures and all the pictures were just black. Called Canon help desk and was told I needed to send the camera in to get fixed. The camera is a little over a month old and has been treated very carefully and there is a electronics glitch in it so not only do I not get to use it to take pictures of my baby girl to send to my parents across country but I have to pay to send it to Canon to get it fixed. You would figure a $300 camera from Canon would be a little more reliable.

    Here we go again. I get the camera back from Canon repair shop, a week and a half turn around I was impressed with that. I go to use it and asks for date and time so I enter the info. Go to use the camera a little later and asks for the date and time again. I go out and buy a new date and time battery and put it in and try again, same problem. Call tech support and they say I need to send it in again to get this problem fixed. If I could lower the rating for this camera below 1 I would. Not happy with Canon at all.
