Saw the product advisory on the Canon product support web site so took Camera to authorised repair centre in Colchester.

Very happy! 7.1Mp camera, more features, looks brand new. Didn't cost a penny.

Didn't take in for repair until May of this year. Then learned of the CCD problem. Mine does not take photos and shows black screen. But it is able to show previous photos on the memory card. Sent to local repair shop who sent back telling me part not available. Then tried Sony who sent to Florida who also sent it back with comment UNREPAIRED DUE TO PARTS N/A. But no one will tell me what part is not working and why they quit making parts for a camera that cost me over $800 Canadian less than 4 years ago. How do I find out if it is the CCD or another part?

I rarely use the camera but when I do I need it. Last year the problem with the bad CCD chip showed up in my camera. I did not know of the CCD chip problem at the time. A few months later I decided to see if I could get the camera fixed and was made aware of the defective CCD. I guess living in AZ it took longer to show up. <br /> My problem is that I was never notified of this and now that I try to get it fixed, Sony says it will cost me $211 (flat fee).<br /> It seems there was some settlement and the date for free fixes has lapsed.<br /> Well I was not notified and I did not agree to the settlement. Anyone know of another path to get the camera fixed? I'm looking at small claims court with the defendant being Konica Minolta but they are in Japan. I have a Konica Minolta A1.

The first one was my Sony DSC-F717 Cyber-Shot Sony sent a shipping label and it was sent to Texas for repair. I was happy when it was returned as I really liked the camera. I They repaired it June 2007. June 2008 same problem Black screen on both the View finder and the LCD Screen which renders the camera useless. Sony sent me a shipping label and the camera was returned June 3 2008 twenty nine pictures later the same problem. Called Sony and they told me to take the battery out and push the reset button and I did and the camera worked for 10 minutes and the black screen appeared again. Sent the camera back for the third time and was promised a new replacement camera but since they didn't make the Sony DSC-F717 Cyber-Shot they would call me and tell me what type of camera they'd sent. I just got a UPS notification and they are shipping the camera back for the third time.

So when the camera failed I purchased a Canon Poweshot S3IS. I used it but for the remainder of the trip and when I got home and researched the Sony and found out about the trouble I contacted and that is when I sent my Sony back. So I have been using the Sony and Canon switching back and forth with the cameras. I have had this camera for about 18 months and last week when the Sony was in for the third time I went to use my Canon only to find it also was useless as it had a blacek screen.

This was a while ago. But if you left it for about 5 minutes and tried again it went right. This gradually got worse and now it is all across all of the screen. We decided as we only use it occasionally to get another from ebay and when we started looking we found loads on there being sold for spares with the same fault. I did a search and came across this web site. Did anyone get their Canon camera repaired and were they charged. Any further help on this please!

Canon Powershot S230. Same procedure, got free shipping label, they said they would fix it and return it. Finally got it shipped back to find they replaced it with a refurbished SD630. I can't complain. It's a 3 year newer camera. Only problem is the SD630 uses SD memory instead of compact flash, so I had to buy a bigger SD memory, although it came with a 16MB SD card and battery, etc. Anyway, great customer service. I'd definitely buy Canon again! I had the exact same problem as Janice. Canon Powershot S230. Same procedure, got free shipping label, they said they would fix it and return it.

About one year ago it started doing the same thing. I didn't know what happened. Now I guess the problem is a defective CCD.<br /> Where should I send it for repair? I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

I have asked Sony if this camera is also under warranty since they took over Konica and they said "no" because it wasn't one that is listed. It appears to me that the camera also has a faulty ccd and they are not willing to warranty this one. Not sure why they wouldn't as this is not good for Sony's reputation. All Konica Minolta products should be under warranty and not just some. I purchase a konica minolta dimage e40 digital camera in April, 2005 and in November, 2006 the camera shows distorted pictures.
