dunno whether other brands got this chronic problem? frankly speaking, i'm really impressed with its picture quality + features offer but the problem kind of scare me off.  i already sold my A620, think of get a new model, maybe will go for panasonic or fujifilm

huh ??? cannot keep in car, cabinet and pouch ??
then where should we put ??? wtf man ...
i going to send mine this friday, went to cameron last week, the photo i shoot all like shit !! the sky is purple color 1 ~

my a70 was send to the canon service centre about 1.5 years ago, CCD problem, repair for free after warranty period.

but then when i want to use it again last month, the same problem occur, already send in to canon service centre two weeks , no news yet so far.

FYI, i kept my camera in a dry cabinet under low humidity and low temperature condition together with my SLR. even that also the stupid a70 ccd got problem, now i dunno what to say regarding their claim not to put the camera "exposed to hot and humid environments."

though the canon EOS SLR are good , their P&S are just not that reliable.

is that mean if spoilt again, they wont repair free for u anymore ????
walao ... they are replacing same problem CCD module on it, problem may occur after sometime ~
