I purchased a Cannon PowerShot A610 11 months ago. What is the manufacturer's warranty?

Hi Kay,

According to this page for the A610 at Canon's site:

"Your PowerShot Digital Camera or other contents, when delivered to you in new condition in its original container, is warranted against defects in materials or workmanship as follows: for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase, defective parts or a defective PowerShot Digital Camera returned to Canon U.S.A. or Canon Canada, or their authorized PowerShot Digital Camera service centers, as applicable, and proven to be defective upon inspection, will be repaired with new or comparable rebuilt parts or exchanged for a refurbished PowerShot Digital Camera, as determined by Canon U.S.A. or Canon Canada, or the authorized PowerShot Digital Camera service center.

This limited warranty applies to the PowerShot Digital Camera, CompactFlashâ„¢ memory card, compact power adapter, AC cable, video cable, PC/Mac IF cables and DC coupler. (The battery pack carries a separate 90-day limited warranty.) THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY ACCESSORIES NOT MENTIONED ABOVE. This limited warranty shall only apply if the PowerShot Digital Camera is used in conjunction with compatible computer equipment and compatible software, as to which items Canon U.S.A. or Canon Canada, shall have no responsibility. Non-Canon brand equipment and software that may be distributed with the PowerShot Digital Camera are sold "as is" and without warranty of any kind by Canon U.S.A. or Canon Canada, including any implied warranty regarding merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and all such warranties are disclaimed. The sole warranty, if any, with the respect to such non-Canon brand items is given by the manufacturer or producer thereof.

This limited warranty covers all defects encountered in normal use of the PowerShot Digital Camera, and does not apply in the following cases:

(a) Loss of or damage to the PowerShot Digital Camera due to abuse, mishandling, improper packaging by you, alteration, accident, electrical current fluctuations, failure to follow operating, maintenance or environmental instructions prescribed in Canon U.S.A.'s or Canon Canada's user's manual or services performed by someone other than Canon U.S.A. or Canon Canada, or an authorized PowerShot Digital Camera service center. Without limiting the foregoing, water damage, sand/corrosion damage, battery leakage, dropping the camera, scratches, abrasions or damage to the body, lenses or LCD display or damage to the connectors or cables, AC adapter or CompactFlash memory card, will be presumed to have resulted from misuse, abuse or failure to operate the PowerShot Digital Camera as set forth in the operating instructions.
(b) Use of parts or supplies (other than those sold by Canon U.S.A. or Canon Canada) that cause damage to the PowerShot Digital Camera or cause abnormally frequent service calls or service problems.
(c) If the PowerShot Digital Camera has had its serial number or dating altered or removed."

Hope this helps. :)
