I'm the victim. My Canon Powershot A70 just show up the weird sign yesterday night. I bought it on 16Nov2003. I think it is coming from the defective stock manufactured between 2002 & 2004.

I'm so curious why Mavik's friend camera died after about 2 years. Mine also about 2 years.

Anyone has the same experience? Did Canon Malaysia really fix it FOC even if my warranty has expired? Or should ask the Photo shop to send it back on my behalf?

Sent an email to Canon Malaysia helpdesk and they return me a call this morning and ask mw to send it back for checking. If the problem is due to CCD sensor defect, the warranty charge will be waived. Hoping that it is CCD problem. Otherwise, no warranty, my RM1200 just like a drop in the sea.

Good news, Canon Malaysia called me 2 days ago and has fixed my affected Canon A70 for FREE. The technician says 'wire has come loose'. I'm going to collect it back next Monday/ Tuesday.

My A70 was bought on 16Nov2003

Never thought that i have to reply to myself AGAIN!. After they fix it, it works like a charm until 2 days ago. The weird sign came back again and the photo taken looks like 'negative'.

Has anyone sent your affected camera to Canon for the second time? I wonder whether they'll serve me again.

I want to salute Canon for its excellent service. I just got an SMS from Canon informing me to collect the repaired Powershot A75 at NO charge! This is my 2nd time free repair 3.5 years after purchase.
