General Comments

I purchased the Canon PowerShot A95 digital camera a month ago for the purpose of taking photos while on a mission trip to Brazil. After taking photos for a couple days, the camera stopped operating. According to Canon Warranty Dept, the camera is unrepairable and not warranted due to moisture damage. The camera was NEVER immersed or in any way came in contact with any liquid. However, due to HUMIDITY, the camera is not repairable and is not warranted. ACTUALLY told by Cust Support that condensation may occur when moving from outside to an inside air conditioned environment, and that this VOIDS the warranty. I was not aware that my $300 purchase was for a disposable camera. In my opinion, the construction is poor if you cannot expect to take photos on a humid day. If you purchase this camera, avoid environments where you may encounter humidity, i.e. Brazil, Florida, anywhere in the South, etc. By the way, the other 14 people on the mission trip used their digital cameras with no problems.

    I just had a similar experience but with an Olympus C-725. Its extremely irritating that manufacturers really do treat these gadgets as expensive disposable cameras. By putting numbers like 90% max humidity in the fine print they can legally get away with it! Surely some camera maker has better construction/integrity...but who?
