Accident but I wanted to buy one from wal-mart or someplace where if it was a lemon at least we could take it back, but he insisted we buy one from e-bay and save some money. Well after having it a few weeks, I am not happy with the camera we got, it seems to take a lot of blurry and poor quality pictures too! I do have to say though that the pictures of yours that turned out are truly beautiful! I loved the pictures on your blog, they are great!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664824920459341153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-87149567084706895642009-01-23T05:41:00.000-08:002009-01-23T05:41:00.000-08:00I have a canon powershot and I love it.

Being a multi-animal household (to date: 7 Coonhounds, 2 three-legged Jack Rat's, 2 dogs of undeterminable parentage, 3 cats and now 2 Nubian goats) it's nice to hear words from a kindred spirit. Your love for your animals is evident and your ability to make people laugh and smile a talent. Keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your camera situation. I will be staying tuned!<BR/><BR/>P.s.

Target has the same 90 day policy....I was trying to take it back at 100 days. A huge difference:)<BR/><BR/>Esther, I will give my son the same advice as your dad gave you, "Don't buy Canon"<BR/>My camera is at Canon right now so if this doesn't work I will take your advice. <BR/><BR/>Lisa, Now that's the bad part about the camera. The auto-focus was telling me it was ready to take a picture and it would still be blurry. A lot of the time it just couldn't lock onto what I wanted to take a picture of. And the macro didn't seem to work at all. Every time I'd use the macro to take a picture of a flower....blurry. Thanks for your camera support. Funny how we love our cameras. They are our memory.<BR/><BR/>gafarmwoman, I had a camera that was a hand-me-down that my son gave me and it worked ok but I wanted zoom. When that camera was stolen in our truck I bought this one. It came highly recommended.<BR/>I think I just got a lemon. How are the biddies?<BR/><BR/>Joanna, So I'm not alone. I am afraid mine will come back more messed up than when it went. It could get dropped in shipping. I should have stuck with disposables.<BR/><BR/>Heidi, I think you should call them for me. <BR/><BR/>Amy, I told the guy at Canon that I tried out a Kodak camera that worked better than the Canon. It had no trouble focusing.<BR/>And I just love a sepia photo.<BR/><BR/>Masked Man, Why thank you. I'm here to entertain. <BR/>They had roller coaster customer service. Really good then really bad depending on who answered the phone.<BR/><BR/>farmgirl, Give me a minute and I will think of a way you can help. I think I need a pocket camera too.<BR/><BR/>Goldilocks, "a lemon followed by poor customer service" I'm going to use that line when I call them back.<BR/><BR/>But for right now the camera is back at Canon. They emailed and said they are repairing it and I should get it back in a few days.goatgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753367360714853700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2970953052653919459.post-42619481398857468832009-01-16T17:44:00.000-08:002009-01-16T17:44:00.000-08:00Next time you (or Hubby) talk to someone at Canon ...Next time you (or Hubby) talk to someone at Canon to deal with this, politely remind them that this is not at all your fault.

I love my Canon (EOS Rebel XTi) - I had gotten a Pentax but the autofocus kept doing crazy things (in/out/in/out) so back it went (I, too, love Costco's 90 day return policy) and I replaced it w/my Canon. But I also have another one, my handy, I-go-no-where-without-it-in-my-back-pocket Casio (another Costco special).<BR/>Kudos to you for being persistent - don't let other people's apathy get the best of you. Keep at it. They should have refunded your money a long time ago.

So I don't. My friend Anette has a Canon camera (which she bought because of its fabulous zoom!) and she was in love - but just a few weeks ago, it started to making crunching sounds. Sony is great, except they make it difficult to work with any other software than their own (the Microsoft syndrome).<BR/><BR/>Advice from Africa: Don't get mad, you don't need that.
