Title: Great camera - UNTIL IT STOPS WORKING
Product review: DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA. Disregard my original rating of 5 stars. I liked the A610 camera when I bought it back in February/March 2006. It is now May 2007, the warranty expired 2 months ago. I turned on the camera last week and no LCD display. The image sensor has died. I have used this camera less than 10 times. Never dropped it, no bumps or bruises on it. The LCD display is completely black. I can now take only pure black pictures. Everything else on the camera works - just no image. Canon evidently received a batch of faulty image sensors but they are taking no responsibility for their bad parts. I contacted them and they gave me two options: I can pay $100++ to have it repaired at their factory in Illinois, or I can join their loyalty program and pay $125 plus $10 shipping for a refurbished camera. Some loyalty program. DON'T BUY THIS CAMERA. CANON DOESN'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS.
