Trying to figure this out. I took it to a sandy place and it worked fine for a while, but it just stoped turning on kind of. It will still turn on but clicks 3-4 times and in the lower left hand corner says (E18) have any ideas what's up with this. I took it a part and cleand all the sand out of it but there is still the same problem when I put it back togeather. HELP

E18 is a lens error. My guess would be sand got into your lens (into the gears, etc.). These guys should be able to take care of you. http://www.darntoothysam.com/servlet/the-1730/Canon-Powershot-SD550-Camera/Detail

Manually rotating sensor rotor inside camera and cleaning gear fixed the Canon "lens error" for me.
