I sent it for a repair, requested them just to replace the cover. But when I got an email from them, they asked me to pay 99 dollars for just that!?! With that amount I will be better off buy new camera. DUH!
I called them about my warranty, etc, they think I dropped camera but I didn't. I keep it in my camera bag and in my purse all the time. It's new, in great care. They tried to "get away with it" so I decline the repair but they tried to offer me 20 percent off but I refused, they offer more off until they offter 50 percent off... in my mind, I thought why trying to offer me that than do the honest answer... I did contact them before but they said none about flat rate. They said "Okay you have warranty then send it to us for repair."
I don't think it's fair to me. Just that dishonest trick they pulled on me. So be bewared of them.
Boy am I glad I gave them a try. I have yet to find anything wrong other than no lens cap tether (but it clips onto the strap so I'm not crying or anything yet). Even at the far end of the zoom (yea, even in the digital zoom) the pictures are great. It's hard to keep a subject in frame in the high end of digital zoom unless you can keep the camera REALLY still- the image stabilization keeps adjusting for your slightest twitch, but that was expected. I stumbled on great subjects on my first trip out with it (heron chicks, kingfisher in midair) so that probably helped. I can even take better self-portraits since the rear screen revolves out and around so you can check your framing while being in front of the camera!
Something tells me I'll have this one for as long as it'll have me. Good job, Canon!
The zoom is great, brings what I want closer without losing any detail. In normal setting, I've taken indoor pictures of the grandchildren and my husband and they are perfect. Color is very good. The one thing I would really like to have on this camera is image stabilization.
Looking now to getting either the new Kodak Zi6 pocket camcorder or the RCA small wonder EZ201 so I can capture pix of my great grandchildren doing their thing.
I picked this camera because it has a few features I hadn't found in other cheaper point and shoot cameras. In manual mode it has an infinity focus mode, which I haven't seen anywhere. This is excellent for cloud photos, as my other camera could almost never focus on them, but this camera lacks a manual focus, so I wasn't completely sure it would work. The Infinity Focus completely solved that problem.
It's other main selling point is an ability for "Super Macro", ie focusing on objects almost touching the lens. It is also found in Manual Mode. My S3 can do that, but I didn't think I would find a point and shoot with that capability. Especially since I've played with some of the more expensive Canon powershots and they DIDN'T have the capability. It makes up for the measly 3.4 optical zoom.
One feature I haven't played with yet is long shutter, also in the manual settings, reached by pressing menu in the Exposure area of the Manual settings. It looks like it can go up to 5 seconds or so. Another feature I didn't expect on a camera without Manual Aperture or Shutter Speed adjustments.
The lack of a viewfinder is a bit irritating, and noticeably a problem in direct sunlight, but the focus modes more than made up for it for me.
It does have a big lag for flash pics, even with NiMH batteries. You will HAVE to buy another memory card as at high quality it can take barely 10 pics on the included one.
For the photo nut who wants special effects, it'll take some doing: the F stop and the shutterspeed are automatic. It suits nme fine because I want to take pics, not spend all day fiddling with the cameras options. It does take great pics, no question! I'm quite pleased with it!!!
If I had to make a less than positive comment, it's that the 186 page manual is in PDF format; that means iit is in the Canon disk, not a printed manual! It's a bugger to print if you're not good at printing such PDF documents using both sides of the paper. On the computer screen, the manual is quite big and bright. Also if your sharp with computers, you can download the manual to your memory card and read the manual from the camera screen, while you're away from home and your PC!. All in all, it's not a camera for the very very photographically involved; but, rather, if you take lots and lots of pics of home, family, vacations, etc, you'll love the A470 Canon Powershot
Pros:
1. 20X optical super-zoom with IS and USM: its focal length (5-100mm) covers most of the ranges practically needed; IS & USM are definitely positive additions;
2. Lots of manual options available. If you really like digital photography, then you know what I mean. Like the AEB feature, allows you to compose your own HDR photo, etc.
3. Design (including its weight): The design is just right, not too high profile, not too humble. Hear some complaints about the weight, but for me that is part of "quality". It is still much lighter and portable than a SLR, isn't it.
4. More...
Coms:
Only some small things I dislike: lens cap --- they should use a small string hooking up with the body; Neck string: don't use it. Material of the string is kind of rough, it will bother you big time while hold the camera.
Overall, if you have limited budget and still want a decent (not just an entry level), rich featured with more manual options digital camera, go for SX10 IS!
Other than that the A1000IS is an amazing little cam. The picture quality is bright and clear. It is easy to use, and it retains the same function controls as previous A series cameras. And best of all, it's a Canon. I will never go with any other brand as long as Canon continues to make cameras.
I would not hesitate to recommend it to others. The good points about the camera are:
Excellent pictures with "ease mode" especially outdoor and not bad for indoor under normal lighting. A bit noisy for indoor when the lighting is dim, better use the flash to compensate.
If you have time, the manual controls are great and let you create your own effects. The Canon Browser record all the camera parameters for each photo which is great for budding photograher. Despite some review's caution against poor battery life, I was pleased with what I can get from a pair of 2650 mAH NiMH rechargables, I used it for over 200 photos before feeling the need recharging.
The only down side for the camera, is its physical size, it's not a camera you can put in your shirt pocket. The original Canon leather case is great, you can wear it in your belt.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with my purchase.
Caveat: The camera uses up alkaline batteries pretty quickly so I recommend 2 sets of rechargeable AA batteries. I had good luck with the Sony 2500 mAH rechargeable batteries which lasted 3-5 days depending on use. (Your mileage may vary from mine!)
When the camera finally arrived, I was surprised at the bulk and heft of it. Sure, it's still highly compact, but for someone used to the SD300 and SD600, this is a step backwards in portability. It makes my pockets kinda bulge. Right off the bat, strike one: my primary use case for the camera was to keep it in my pocket all the time. Once I tried it though, I realized that it'd have to go in a bag most of the time.
Strike two: it's kinda awkward to hold. I have very large hands, so I rarely have a problem with any camera. I'm not sure if others would have the same experience, but it's worth noting, since I've always been comfortable with various other Canons, Nikons, and Pentaxes.
Finally, my main criticism, Strike 3: Picture Quality. I wasn't happy with either the stills or the video. With the stills, I had trouble with the focus system. The face-tracking system seems useful at first, but when I viewed the photos on my computer, the focus never seemed quite right. Even when I switched to a more conventional focus mode, the picture quality just wasn't as satisfying as that of the SD600, an older and cheaper model.
Video quality was, for me, the last straw. Sure, it may be technically HD, but for me, HD promises more than just resolution. When I think HD, I think sharp, clear, and vibrant. The video produced by the TX1 is high-resolution, it is wide-screen at 16x9 - but it's not really HD. The video picture is blotchy and fuzzy, and really no better than that, again of a much cheaper SD series camera. It's nice that it's wide, the video is definitely much better proportioned for today's wide-screen televisions, but it's not much of an advance beyond that, and it certainly isn't really HD.
Also worth noting is that the video files produced by the TX-1 are immense, making it fairly inconvenient and/or expensive to use as a video camera. These file sizes certainly aren't justified by the video quality.
To sum up: the TX-1 has an impressive array of features, and had the potential of being a truly groundbreaking device, of finally bringing HD video and stunning stills into a single pocketable device. Unfortunately, however, it doesn't deliver on quality, and it's not as pocketable as its predecessors, which take better stills and video that's nearly as good as the TX-1's.
Ultimately, for me, the TX-1 wasn't satisfying as a still camera or a video camera. I've returned mine; I'm going to stick with my SD600 for now.
I'm still eagerly awaiting the first truly pocketable device which shoots both high-quality stills and video. I'd even be willing to pay more than I did for the TX-1 - maybe that would give it a better chance of succeeding. In the meantime, I've got my eye on the Canon HV10 HD Camcorder to supplement my SD600 and Nikon D80.

Great price!
