Ihave an A70; it went dead. it is not the

sorry to hear your experience with canon. i was turned on to canon a few years ago and have been thoroughly pleased. i'm on my 3rd canon (upgrades, lost, additional for wife, etc).

i recently got my a720 a little wet and the lcd screen stopped working. it wasn't completely dark. i could see very dim images through it. doing some online research, it was determined i had a back backlight but that the lcd was fine.

i was pleasantly surprised to find out i could order a new lcd direct from canon for less than $30 shipped. i found some excellent posts online about replacing an lcd on a similar model canon, followed the instructions, and now have my old camera back to normal.

i don't think i'll ever go with anything but canon again. i had a a595 (i think that was it), now the a720, and got my wife an sd1100 when my a720 was waiting to be repaired. we've been very pleased.

I did not receive a fix ya solution; somebody sent me a post that included links for new cameras. I was put off by this smart *** type of response.

I ended up finding my bill for the camera and it still had warranty; I took it to Staples where I bought it and they gave me a 50% depreciated value for the camera. I will never by another Cannon camera and I will never shop at staples again, bad experiences with both.
