I bought my Canon S2 IS in December of 2005. Since then I have pretty much taken it everywhere with me. I’ve taken pictures of family events, critters along the roadside, lots of Sunsets (we get good ones with the fog rolling in the evening). While on my Alaska trip I noticed that sometimes when I powered it up, I would have a black display in the viewfinder. It happened again when I was archery hunting on the weekend of August 18th. I thought it was cold, but when I did some research it seems that this is a common occurrence in Canon Powershots. Apparently it is (for you techies out there) a fault with the CCD chip connection to the LCD screen. So common in fact that many models have a free repair advisory. I was hopeful that was the case for my camera.
After sending my camera to Canon, they sent me an estimate for $127 including shipping. I reluctantly agreed and authorized the repair. I should have the camera back in seven business days. My alternative was a refurbished camera for $175. So I guess I will take my lumps and get my camera repaired. I feel empty with out it.
