I guess the point I was trying to make was: Canon CLAIMS it's a hardware
fault. The consensus of outside opinion is it is actually a firmware
problem. The opinion is Canon pushed the hardware angle to reduce the
number of warranty repairs. If true, in order to repair the camera
outside the Canon service network, you would have to find someone who
has the capability to upgrade the camera's firmware. Good luck.

The reason I'm asking here is that I've read that Canon charges so much for repair that
it's not worth it. I also heard that because of that situation there were some internet
groups that discussed do it yourself repairs...I'm trying to find those groups if I
can't find someone who does repair work at a reasonable price.

I have one-great camera. The fault, according to Cannon, is faulty wiper
contacts in the lens drive. Others speculate it's a firmware problem.
Mine has not done this, but some others have. I think repair involves
sending the camera to a Cannon service center for repair.

I'm getting a Canon Powershot G2 that needs some repair (lens won't extend when

turned

on). Does anyone here have that kind of repair information (digital cameras), or

can

direct me to it.

Thanks, jc
