yet aother LCD problem
Couldn't resist the free Coach bag promotion and got this for my daughter. Took 3 pictures on Christmas and two yesterday as it was carefully carried in its Coach bag. Upon next turning on, the LCD is locked with a frozen batwing that is also visible when it is turned off. First Canon CSR gave instructions on sending it back without mentioning the possibility that LCD is not warranteed. Second CSR said it's a judgement call by the tech as to possible camera abuse and to send a clear note about camera history. It's on its way to repair depot. I saw previous 1-star LCD comments and hoped to be lucky. Sigh. Great little camera I have a Rebel XT but have always been in the need of a decent small camera to carry around because of the ease of doing it. I bought this for my wife and it was the best purchase of Christmas. It is rugged, the pics are high quality, and perfect, especially for a woman's small hands. The card it comes with is small so buy at last a 256mb card and you can take about 200 High qual pics or 1000 standard. The flash is also much brighter than I thought and the quality of the built in video is great as well. Highly recommended travel camera I wanted a small digital camera to take travel pictures. This is a great small camera - the automatic settings are easy to use. I especially like the one-touch download feature and the automatic settings for night pictures. A friend liked the pictures from my camera so much he bought one on vacation. Excellent camera! After reading many complaints about the "fragile" LCD screen and worrying (needlessly) about purchasing this camera, I went ahead and bought it. This camera is a bargain! Lots of great features! Long lasting battery, perfect crisp macro pictures, continuous shooting mode, b&w or sepia pictures or movies. As for the LCD screen, if you read the instruction manual, it does say to prevent damage to the screen from condensation, to keep the camera in a resealable plastic bag when going from hot to cold or cold to hot temps and letting it come to room temperature before using! The movies from this camera are the BOMB! No need for a camcorder if you have a 1G SD card! I also love the girly features such as colors for the clock screen, wallpaper, sounds (dog barking, wolf howling, bird chirping), etc. Anyone interested in the Canon hard case for this should go to Best Buy-they have a similar generic, genuine leather, hard case for only $7 and carry it in black, brown, red, or croc embossed! I'm having a blast with this camera and find it well worth the price! the coolest camera ever my mom has a s400 elph. she convinced me to get this at about 200 with a memory card. i jus got it today. i have been playing with da features like slo motion video. its quite fun to take pics. there are alot of options to use. its also so light compared to a s400, it is also very small with a nice bright screen for viewing crisp pics. a must have if u want something cheap. i reccomend a lexar memory card. | |
