I've said it before, but fuck that company, or at least fuck their Powershit Elph series. (The "shit" was a typo, but I think I'll leave it.)
Eight months ago I bought a Powershit Elph SD750. I really liked this camera. A month ago it simply stopped working. I sent it immediately to get repaired (Future Shop, the place I bought it, told me where to go, especially since I went there looking for help without having the receipt). They said it would take a few days to get back to me with an estimate. It took a month. Apparently my camera blew up all their fuses. They tried everything and determined that the main circuit board was toast. No apparent reason. The cost to repair? $240 plus tax.
Well, fuck that noise. Look at this. And fuck that, too.
That's two Elphs that have died on me after a short period of time. I will never buy another. Fuck am I ever pissed off.
Didn't "Zurants" also have a problem with her Canon, a while back? Kinda makes you think.
Geeze! I guess I dodged a bullet there! Just bought a camera for the man for his b-day. Canon powershot A720 IS. It is extremely awesome so far. I read pages and pages of reviews and info first and I heard that the Elph was somewhat delicate or more fragile so I opted for a different model even though some of my colleagues are big fans of the Elph.
