my sd600 often goes into movie mode automatically even though i'm picture mode (ie. it starts taking a movie even though the setting is on camera!)

It can just be sitting there in camera mode, and then all of a sudden change to movie mode without me even touching it. If i shake it, it will turn back to picture mode, but it's highly unpredictable!!

Sounds like a short or a bad control wheel. Either way, you need to have it repaired. But since your warranty is probably expired, it may cost more to repair than it's worth. Rule of thumb is that if it costs 50% or more of the sale price to fix it, you're much better off getting a new one that will give you more bang for the buck.
