The Shutter on my s30 just broke

[Zedii]

I've had my s30 for a little over 2 years and absolutely love it. It has been a great camera, small enough to fit in a pocket, and sturdy enough to take skiing or hiking.

Unfortunately, the Lens cover / slide on my s30 just broke. I contacted Canon's tech support where the "offered" to fix my camera for around $150. Or I can get a refurbished s60 for $250.

Is it worth upgrading for an extra $75? Or should I stick with the s30?
Also, is the new lens cover / slide on the s60 really as sensitive as people on the forum are saying? And if it is made of a "lighter material" wouldn't that make it more likely to suffer the same problem that I am currently experiencing down the road.

Thanks.

1) thats not the shutter

2) yes go for the upgrade. canons repairs are total rip offs.

This happened to me too. It is very sensitive. I returned mine to Best Buy where i bought it . Since it was within a short time they replaced the camera. I think it's worthy to note that this is a problem with these cameras.
