I remember the day when it happened...
My uncle Gary was snapping photos with his Nikon SLR 35mm at a family gathering at Meddybemps Lake in beautiful Maine. I remember watching him.
Then he put HIS camera in my hands... and showed me what to do...
That was it for me, the beginning of a passion!!!
I'm so sad to report that my little Canon PowerShot S400 digital elph which has gone everywhere with me... is NOT working correctly anymore...
It's been a fantastic companion for over 6 years! I kept it in the truck... in my bag... it was so small that I could always have it with me!
One time while framing out the house, I left it out on a pile of sheathing. Forgot all about it... till the next day... after it had rained during the night. Well, after it dried out... it was perfect again!
Yes... and it HAS BEEN dropped... I admit it! OK... more than once... But it's got this tough outer case... and NO harm done...
But... I NEED IT!!! I have these adorable kittens that MUST HAVE their photos taken while they are tiny... sigh... look out the window... those snow capped mountains with that delicate morning light breathing life onto the countryside... and what about the vibrant glow of sunset????
And the holidays are coming! And there's family pictures... and pictures of friends to take... and HOW will I share with you the outcome of my last batch of tomatoes??
Can it be fixed? I'll have to find out!
Yes, I admit it... it may be time for an updated version... but this would be such a great camera to pass on to the boys...
UPDATE 11/5/09
Just got off the phone with Canon. He said that what's going on in my camera is a KNOWN PROBLEM called CCD Malfunction with a sensor gone bad.
They will email me a UPS return ticket... and FIX MY BELOVED CAMERA... for FREE!
I'm so thrilled!!!!!!!! Yeah for Canon Customer Service!!!! You have my loyalty!

Here's hoping it can be fixed! It would be so nice to pass it on to the boys.
I'm looking to buy a replacement for my Kodak Easy Share--but there are sooooo many choices, it gets confusing. I'll add this to the list of ones to check out!
Hi Mary! Called Canon... they will fix it for free!
Hi Sue! My folks have the Kodak Easy Share. They have a difficult time with it. I've had my Canon PowerShot s400 since 2003. I LOVE it! It's so easy to use! I also have a Canon SLR that I bought in the 80's and loved that camera. I'm all for Canon!
Good luck as you begin your search!
