They’ve had it for just over a week,door-to-door,and it’s gone from being a total brick to being as good as new again. The fixed fee of £100 covered a new circuit board (looks like the power circuit board),servicing and cleaning and a couple of screws.
When I sent it off,I really thought this could be the end of that camera,and even though it’s not my main camera by a long way,it does a couple of jobs that the others can’t – such as shots underwater or that involve a serious risk of dunking),and the new task I’d only just discovered for it cycling – video while pedalling!
I was also fearing it could be a long wait for it,even if it was repairable. Fears all totally unjustified. It’s the first time I’ve used Canon’s service centre for a compact (even if a fairly high end one) and it’s a lot better than I was expecting – really impressed.
