on the bright side, if you send it in, get you a cheapy one for the meantime. Wallie world has one for $100 even shoots video. :220v: :220v: :cool:

There's very little I'd stay away from on eBay, but cameras are definately one of them. A lot of the big manufacturers are really sketchy on warranty with mail order/eBay items.
I bought this one of there back when it first came out...from ebay..the only thing I made sure was that they were an autorized dealer..I have had no problems with ebay so far...

I just got a S410 several weeks ago and am not happy at all. If you screw with the manual settings enough and take enough shots of the same thing you might get a good pic. Flash is weak, auto focus is bad, depth of field in auto mode sucks.. but hey it is samll :cry:
My old Kodak 4800 3 megapixal takes 10 times the picture in full auto mode. However, the cannon is good for travel as it is small...but who cares about size when you look at a sh---y picture.
Call cannon tech support aout your sd100

The Canon service & repair center is right down the 405 from you in Irvine. You can drop it off there and probally get fast service.

lakeape has a s40 and likes it. I just don't like having to mess with a bunch of manual settings to get a really good pic all the time. Full auto mode is really bad...usually focused on wrong thing, over exposed or poor depth of field or all 3 and the camera is working ok.
good luck
