Digital camera reviews of Canon PowerShot A650IS 12.1MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
Digital camera Review: DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA - Poor manufacturing and poor customer service!
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this camera for 9 months now and yes-it takes great pictures and the swivel LCD screen is wonderful to see what you are photographing in tough to shoot areas. HOWEVER, after 6 months of owning this camera, the lens started getting stuck outside the body, the shutter would not close, and the inside of the lens attracted condensation. I live in a very hot and humid environment (Southern Japan) and the camera would do this every time it got humid, which is almost every day. I persisted on because it took such great pictures. After 9 months, the LCD screen went black and the whole camera stopped working. I sent it in to Canon for repair since it is under warranty and they refuse to repair the camera. First they told me it was "beyond economically repair" to fix the camera. With further calling and questioning, they instead told me that due to "water damage" they would not repair the camera because I "misused" the device - new excuse. I have never had water near my camera, let alone ever dropped or misused it in any way. I am a doctor and use this camera for patient documentation and occasional personal use. Apparently, my mistake was living in an environment with "extreme conditions" which is what humidity is to Canon Cameras and what they replied after further argument. SO MORALE OF THE STORY is DO NOT buy this camera if you live in a humid environment or even want a camera you can depend on with great customer service in case something does happen. I am very displeased with the company and their lack of support for their products and in maintaining customer loyalty. I am switching to SONY cameras now, which are rated higher by Consumer Reports anyways. Take my advice, don't waste you time because Canon will do that for you if you do buy this camera.
