I have a Powershot S2IS and it is now pretty much useless and I’m not the only one with the problem.

Evidently there was problem in the S1 model which Canon issued a recall on. But not the S2 though it is the same problem. I have to slap my battery case flap shut to just take ONE pic. Canon refuses to address the issue. It is a recurring one in multiple models I believe. They keep coming out with new versions of the same problem. I have totally sworn off Canon.

I bought this camera at Aug 6, and there was written “IN STOCK”, with a promise to deliver it from 08 until 13.Aug, to give it as a Birthday Gift to my Friend in 16Aug. That item did not arrive and I have had an immense sorrow, from which I am psychologically affected. I call the customer service from RitzCamera on 14Aug and they tell me they were waiting the next shipment of the item from the manufacturer(how could this be possible, if they sold me the product???), with no arriving date idea. I am deeply frustrated with both – Amazon and RitzCamera!!! I wanted a materially compensation for the damage this situation caused to me, but until now the did ANYTHING.

The lens cap falls for what ever reason.

Not a fast camera.

IS is a joke.

Great video capture with Stereo audio.

Great set of cool features.

Sold mine off.
