micro Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Hey guys, i had a 5mp Canon PowerShot S50 and it was a great camera, but lately i have been noticing small specs on my pictures... So i took it back to best buy ( 1 year left on my 4 yr warrantee... ) and the geek squad guys said they would have to send it out to have it looked at to see if it could be fixed, that will take over 3 weeks.. (OMG) well that was two weeks ago. My slip says estimated completion date : April 8th.. My question is... Do you think my camera will be repaired or will i end up getting a replacement, like the Canon A620 ? here is a shot from my camera, you can see the specs clearly..

Dallas Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I don't know what your problem is, but I sent my a510 in to Canon less then 2 weeks ago and I already have an e-mail saying they have shipped it back. Their customer service rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaekwad2 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Looks like a dead pixel (with sharpening and jpeg artifacts around it). They can happen with CCDs too, but fortunately you're not supposed to accept them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamNeeds Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Or a problem with the sensor itself if its in the same place all the time. Send it in for maintenance i say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaekwad2 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 It is a problem with the sensor. One of its pixels is stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
