Review on πŸ“· Silver Canon PowerShot ELPH 100 HS - 12.1 MP CMOS Digital Camera with 4X Optical Zoom by Mario Beats

Revainrating 1 out of 5

"Lens Error " occurred after about 7 months; Free camera exchange showed the same error after 7 months

I like the camera. I haven't bought a new camera since 2005 so I was really shocked at how much better the picture has gotten. About three weeks ago I got "Lens Error" and the lens didn't always retract right away. I was lucky to have access to other cameras, so I wasn't completely lost when this one was turned off. I sent it back to Canon and about a week later I had a replacement on hand. Of course I'm worried that the lens error will come back and they will change the camera forever? That's why I can't give the camera 5 stars. If I had to do it again I'd pay more for a different camera, but that's only because armed with this really good camera I started doing more serious video work, so I really missed the quality of this camera when it did broke. . Hopefully my replacement will last longer than the original. UPDATE: About 7 months after I received a free replacement from Canon, it showed "Lens Error" and blocked. What was a 4 star rating is now a 1.
