ok this is a bit late as it broke acouple of weeks ago, ive got a S2 and the cross hair on the back that controls all the features (focus, Fstop etc) has sort of stopped working less than 6 months from getting it. the left and down parts of it just simply wont work and that tactile "click" isnt there any more, i couls shoot in auto and still get good results but it was weird not being able to control the focus like i wanted to.

well ive just sent the camera off to Colchester Camera Repairs as thats the closest Canon approved repairers in the UK to me, its getting done under warrenty.

i just cant work out why it happened, it just stopped one day, it hasnt been dropped etc and it lives in the LowePro bag i got for it except when im taking pics,

oh well a couple of weeks with out a camera, i dont know what im going to do now.


Kit List:

Canon S2IS, Lowepro Bag, Some AA 2100Mamp batteries loads of SD cards, ploarising filter, tripod, case of beer

Nice one Craig... Now you're going to have to get down to that car dealership and work out how your polarizing filter works!! :)

Ya know, I always have them good intensions as well. I was without my camera several times throughout the summer and each time I had thought. “Why, I can get caught up with xxxx”. Then the camera came back and whatever xxxx was, was still in the same shape as before. I attributed it to post-photographic depression.:D
