Which shop you went ? One of my friend got his old Canon replaced with the latest model

From your shot, it looks different from my CCD problem. Best advice is to sent direct to Canon HQ @Saujana Shah Alam, I believe it will be repaired FOC even though you are out of warranty. Unless your problem cropped up because of your misuse, the technicians will know. However you will need to leave your camera at the Service Centre and they will get back to you in a few days.

Nope... I thought it was hopeless to try to claim warranty for a warranty-expired product, and that repairing such a cheap camera may not be worth it compared to saving up for a new one (or new accessories for my current one...).

Funny thing is, Canon service centre is like almost right in front of where I stay in Singapore...

lol .. 5k shot then the inside got afk ..canon shud do sumthing bout this man
any report ?

i think my fren had same probs as urs..
he wait like a month man ..haha
goodluck lol

I sent mine to the Canon Service Center near Subang Airport.

I think most SC will be able to help TS to repair FOC

i'm not sure i can get a repair for FOC or not since my camera is running out from its warranty period.
if the problem is really happens on Sensor (CCD) or processor, it's really upset and unacceptable.
it will break the good image of Canon in my heart.

canon uses alot of part from sony and you know la sony is famous for faulty shits, everytime recall one.

not only the CCD part is come from Sony meh?
still got other parts are come from Sony?
as i know, the lens and processor are built by Canon 1 mah..

of course still got other parts from sony, u think so simple meh.

hahahha.. pls forgive me
i'm new guy in Digital Photography!
i only think that in a DigiCam the sensor, processor and storage media is equals to film in FilmCamera

If it is proven CCD problem, Canon will defenitely replace a new camera for you. Don't worry about that. My friend faced the similar problem a year ago and he got new camera replaced eventhough the warranty period is over.

get a call from Canon Service Center just now.
they saying its a "optical unit" prob, needs 204bucks to repair
thinking to get a new camera instead of repair it.

thanks for all forumers who gave ur opinions and viewing this thread.
thanks again!

Did you ask for FOC service or discount from them ?

Yes, I was try to get FOC service or discount from them; I failed to do so.
I asked the technician how long (or after how many shots) the repaired part can last after I repair it, he told me that he also can not guaranteed abt it. He only manage to give me 3 months warranty on the repaired part.

By the way, any forumer know abt A530? it's good?
