Great Camera for 1.5 years - then zoom quit.

(Mike Lowery - 10/16/07)

Have been very happy with camera for 1.5 years. Have taken it on some very extreme outings. Have not had any real problems with it - besides locking up once or twice (just turned camera off & on and fixed the problem). However, was just on vacation in Florida and the zoom quit. I have been told will be $100 to $125 to fix. Considering buying new camera but will probably just upgrade to the Canon SD990.

I have also noticed that red eye is common indoors and that indoor photos are not as good as hoped. Yet, very happy with camera for the price.
