Review 3 of 3

Price Paid:  $0.00 from Internet

Summary:

I purchase the Canon Power Shot A630 over the internet. I liked the features specially with the ability to flip the LCD fro protection from scratches. I liked that it used regular batteriies and not the expensive kind. Problem is I was only able to take a few pictures before the camera broke. It stopped taking images and instead gave blank (black) images. I immediately shipped the camera to Canon for repair. They turned it around in ten days. One month later Iafter sitting in my closet I was again taking pictures why vacationing in the islands. While in the middle of taking pictures this camera again stopped capturing images and instead gave only blank images. Once I returned from my trip I again sent this camera back to Canon. This time they would not repair my camera unless I paid them $100.00 dollars. They calimed that there was a foreign substance on my camera that could possibly cause this failure. I know that when the camera was in my possession that is was well cared for and that nothing was ever spilled nor came into contact with my camera. I didn't pay for the service because I know in my heart this was either a design inherited flaw or I ended up with a lemon. Canon was more then happy to take the camera off my hands which I did not let them do. I will not buy from Canon again!

Strengths:

Looks good. Packages and advertised very well. Features when read will entice your impulse but beware my firend!

Weaknesses:

Many including the warranty repair services!

Customer Service:

Very poor! Never buy from Canon again. I'm stuck with a $260.00 dollar leamon. Will consider Sony in the future.
