ok get this, i received a the above camera as a christmas present in december 2002. All was going well until just as i move countries (to new zealand) in december last year, the camera stops working at my first stop, brisbane. It gets some e25 error. Thats all well and good but i left the warrant back in Perth, and there is no chance of getting someone to look for it, because i dont know where it is exactly. I take it to camera shops in my new home, christchurch, but they all say all they can do is send it to canon in Auckland for a quote, which will cost $50. So eventually i take it to a canon office in christchurch, and they send it off, but they dont tell me it will also cost $50. So finally after a month i get a call from canon saying it is uneconomical to fix my camera, which has some optical problem, and they want me to pay $50. So i get a broken year old camera and $50 out of my pocket. This doesnt seem very fair, because a. they havnt provided a quote, yet they want me to pay $50, and b. It is a year old camera, i mean yeh, products these days dont last, but jeez, .it was a $330 camera!! So does anyone know what i can do? All i want is my camera fixed and back, with minimal spending. Also i didnt drop it or anything, it just broke.
