Spoke with Zach at the Canon Loyalty Program and he offered me another camera. Problem is that I like the ZR85. Now I'm being offered 15% discount if I purchase another canon camcorder. To me this is not good product support. Especially when Canon's service advisory states that they will repair the CCD Image Sensor at no cost to the customer regardless of the warrenty status of the product.
When the product is too old and there are no repair parts sitting in a warehouse somewhere.....it isn't going to get repaired.

hi sir just two things to do first 1- restore to factory setings from the menu and check if it is solved 2- if not just try to see does the knub is in its reguler state if yes so you need to replace it

if 600 sgd is labor only - around 400 usd - you might consider cost of trading up to a newer model ( check ebay for second camera , while you wait for . . . warranty repairs ) ;

What you probably have is some kind of condensation issue. This usually happens when the camera is used in places where there's high humidity, low temperature etc., Since you are able to view the pictures that are already taken, I would assume that this is just some kind of sensor issue. Most of the times this can be fixed by leaving the camera ON for about 1hr. This will get the condensation senor to sense everything is back to normal and will power up the viewfinder again.Let me know if it worked so that we can look at other possibilities.
Thanks,
Sai.

Ok, let's try the "easy fixes" first. When this problem happens, it can be a oxidized power switch contact, or oxidized battery contacts on the camera. Clean the battery contacts and the contacts on the camcorder with an eraser gently (they are gold plated). See if the camcorder works now. The next step is only if you're not planning on taking the camcorder apart. There are times when you can give the camcorder a slightly hard "whack" with the palm of your hand, somewhere near the power switch, while the power switch is on, and if the camera works, then you know it's most likely a dirty or oxidized contact inside. See if you can get it working with these methods. If you can't, you will have to disassemble the camcorder or have it serviced. Get an estimate if you get it serviced, since it can be expensive, and you might just opt for a replacement.
