The Bottom Line:
Buy from a good retailer and keep your receipts so you don't have to waste time with Canon's support if it doesn't work.
Sure enough, about a month after the 1 year warranty expired, all I can record are vertical streaks. It still plays back fine, so I believe it's a problem with the CCD or associated electronics.
This is nothing new. I had to return my cellphone (twice), my PDA (three times), and my wireless router (only once) before I finally got a good one. I take good care of things and when something works, I hang on to it for a long time. I've had the phone for four years now and the PDA for three.
Unfortunately, when it comes to quality and customer service, any brand can be lacking. I feel the only leverage I have is to be careful which retailer I buy from and ask for a refund if the product isn't satisfactory. A camcorder that stops working after less than two hours of recording time isn't acceptable, warranty or not. I don't want to deal with the manufacturer's customer service and repair people; I want the retailer I bought it from to make it right.
What about the camera? I agree with the other reviewers; I was satisfied with it when it was working, which makes it even more of a disappointment. If you could give ratings for specific things, I'd give the product four stars for price and features but zero for quality.
Don't get mad, get your money back! Cheers,
