Wonderful Camera ... Minor Quirks
( - 12/9/05)I have had my S1 for a little over a month and a half now. I already knew about the pop-up flash quitting prematurely months before I bought it, but I was set on getting me an S1, so if it happened to me, I would be prepared for it. Sure enough today, it happened. My flash is partially opened and it sounds like the latch is not releasing. It clicks, and the flash goes off but it is caught and won't come up. Oh well, that's what warranty is for ... of it goes.
Also, I have experienced that the cam doesn't do good in low light conditions, especially when trying to go full telephoto. Every once in a while I run into that because I shoot in the woods alot where its dim. So to overcome that, I have had to just pull back a little and it finally gets the green box. Other than those two things, I absolutely love the camera ... although it will be going to service for the flash. I just ordered me a Digital Rebel so once I get that, I will send off the S1 to get fixed so I won't be without a camera. Don't you just love technology?
