The camera will not focus anything beyond the widest focal length. Anything farther, gets very blurry and camera can not lock focus. Almost like some lens elements got misaligned or something.

It really looks like the lens misaligns at longer focal length. The higher the FL, the blurrier it gets. I don't know what happened. It's obviously not right though. I dont know what caused them to shift or whatnot, if maybe she put her purse down too hard or something, but all looks OK externally. Everything else operates fine and such. Got to see what canon says I guess!

adwoodw Mostly Lurking 15 posts Joined Aug 2008 More info | Why don't you just return it. I received an S95 with the same problem you described and returned it to Best Buy after getting it in the mail. I was thinking that the shipping packaging had something to do with this problem as my camera was delivered in it's original box only protected by a padded envelope. My camera was most likely subjected to excess shock by being knocked around and dropped as the box corners were indented.

How is turnaround for P&S repair? How long ago was the camera purchased from the vendor? It may still fall within the usual 30-day return/exchange policy. It's very possible that Canon may just give you a new camera, in exchange, rather than repair it.
