Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a total believer in Canon over many years and though not buying this camera from amazon, I thought of adding this review as many look for the reviews on amazon no mater where they buy the product. Despite intense love for canon I like to mark this product as a potential problem. Quality of still picture and size of camera is excellent but mine in its 4th month of use is gone dead due to "Lens Error" message that appears on display, immediately after turning camera on. In a second camera turns off automatically and not responding anymore. Lens is stuck out and not moving. In my research I see this as a common problem of this model and if you run a search for eg on ebay, you see many are sold for part for the same reason. I am not sure if this is the result of camera's sensitivity to fall or minor hit on the lens side or a defect of model but this is not something expected from a Canon Built. I wish Canon could address the issue and finds a remedy for the users specially those left without warranty and in any case you need to be very careful with handling of this camera or better, look for some other model.
