now i have to hang my camera infront of the fan~....lucky my f31fd will be here this wednesday...then that time would say bye bye to my a95...or maybe keep in the fridge..

wah lau, sony again ah, last time was notebook battery, this time ccd pulak btw, kudos to panasonic

DUn buy Canon. No more canon product in my list.

my canon digicam belum back from repair, now my canon printer rosak blak ... baru 1.5 year !!! now i abit hate canon liao ...

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.

after 1.5 yrs still can warranty?..mine they say only give another 3 months....now i put it in dry cabinet + thirsty hippo together~...cos i just get my new fujifilm f31fd..~

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 ~

ya...no more free after 3 month spolt..

oh, i wouldn't put my camera in a cabinet with thirsty hippo, might overdry the lubricant inside the camera or worse, humidity absorb by the thirsty hippo may be absorb back into the camera if you forget to replace the thirsty hippo. better get those electronic dry cabinet if you're serious about maintaining the humidity of your stuffs. like those by digicabi or etc.

hi, brothers , i facing this problem with my canon A80....i think mine camera coz of humidnity and now the screen is very blur, got image but blur, cannot see accurately...
i am staying in kajang, and i called the customer service center in Shah alam, i dont think i can reach there coz of transportation.
may i know where else can i leave my camera so that they can collect it? coz it is too far for me to send it to shah alam to repair it, i asked the service center, they asked me go KLCC and leave there, but would they charge me as an agent ? ie, delivery cost or etc.


where you all send it to? or directly to shah alam better?
any advise? i need it before August coz leaving malaysia soon.
and usually how long they to repair or change the CCD?
would the same problem happen if i fix it?


thks for reply...thks.

i think you can send to their Canon Lifestyle Concept Store in midvalley or klcc. and they will help you to send the camera to their main HQ in
peremba square shah alam near the subang airport.

maybe you can try to search in this page also.

I bought A70 4 years ago, then 2 years ago the CCD got problem. Sent for repair and offered upgrade to A95 at RM299. Took it and now 2 years later my A95 LCD having problem - colour and image distortion. Sent for repair and Canon fixed it without charge. In the repair sheet stated as "replace connector". Just thinking is Canon only good for 2 years?

Actually I was hoping that Canon would offer me another upgrade option cos I quite like the new Ixus 900 Ti. Too bad, Canon failed me but still I'm a supporter.

i think it's all due to canon fault in using sony's CCD for their A series, hehe

I also have the same situation like Stacko. Bought Canon PowerShot A70 (early 2004) and after one and half year, the LCD kaput. The LCD suddenly kaput when I was enjoying my holidays in KL (Cuti-cuti Malaysia) in the middle of 2005. Just imagine the frustration when I just about to take picture of the Petronas Twin Tower, the LCD just blank. Very frustrated at that time, cannot take any pictures at all. Spent money on airfare but no picture to keep for memory. Went to Canon Centre in Suria KLCC. The staff there told me to send my A70 to Kuching HQ instead, because I work in Kuching. Sent the camera to Canon HQ in Kuching for repair. After about three weeks, Canon called me that I can exchange my A70 with a new model A95 but with an additional cost of RM299. Paid Canon, and after 1 and half year the same problem occurred again to my A95. I cannot take any pictures of my youngest brother's weddings in June this year. I was really2 disappointed when that happened at that important moment in my life. I sent my A95 to the Canon HQ in Kuching again on June 21st, the staff told me that it will takes 2-3 weeks for repair because the camera will be sent to KL. Right now still waiting for my camera... 2 weeks have already passed. Still no news. If they still use the same CCD from SONY, what the use, because in 1 and half year, the same ting will definitely happened again. They should improve their products quality instead, so this problems will not happened again in the future.

Why does it ALWAYS happen on a very important occation? my A70 CCD failed to operate during my trip to Bangkok, and zakmoz when he was in KL and ...........

conspiracy..... ?

I WILL NEVER bring my canon A95 to any important function any more. (unless accompanied by my new luv Panasonic ... )

I was really dissapointed with my canon a70..let me tell you my story.
after using my a70 for almost 2 years,the ccd seems giving me the problem and i send to BINTANG MAJU to repair my camera.they charge me for a repair fee(dun remember how much edi) before i know its a manufacturer defect and canon repair for FOC.shit!! feel being cheated!
fine..already paid wat to do?!after around 6 month the problem occur again...alrite this time sent back to canon hq and they repair for FOC..after around not more than 1 year the problem came back and now i was thinking do i really need to sent back to canon or get another NON CANON camera

really dissapointed with canon!!

Just curious.. if a Powershot's LCD kaput, still can take photos with the optical viewfinder as a last-resort?
