Oilburner hasn't experienced that level of issues with his. But many of his "light" shots are due to fingerprints over the lens... :)<br /><br />-LoriBeemerGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15239761274177026636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-67581066707307328782011-07-09T13:22:51.963-07:002011-07-09T13:22:51.963-07:00Thanks Dar.

I was looking at the Best Buy flyer and they have a compact Canon Elph Power shot 12.1 megapixel' 4x optical zoom cam for $179.99 And another SX230HS 12.1 with Geotagging for pics & 14x optical zoom for $329.99. The first one is very similar to mine and very compact, COLOURS are right on and heck it takes amazing pics. I took it whale watching and it was great. They also have a 16gb card on sale for $24.Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-88055487177142238332011-07-07T12:29:35.308-07:002011-07-07T12:29:35.308-07:00@Gary - yes they are horrible. I agree
@Bobskoot...@Gary - yes they are horrible. I agree<br /><br />@Bobskoot - thanks for the suggestions, we are looking into the Canon HS300. It is regularly about $200-$225 here from what we've found. Walmart and Staples seem to be the two that sell the HS300. We can always make it waterproof with a ziploc. <br /><br />@Geoff - Canon seems to be the camera of choice - with good reason<br /><br />@Richard - You don't have a Costco with a good return policy but there may be a website that has a good return or exchange policy.<br /><br />@Bluekat - Pelican box is a good idea but I am wondering how awkward that would be in a riding jacket pocket. Would work for a top case though.<br /><br />@Dar - thanks for stopping by. I have linked your blog and I am looking forward to getting caught up on reading it. I think I agree with you - Canon and Nikon seem to be the way to go. My boss has a couple of Nikons and loves them.<br /><br />@Irondad - Troubadour suggested I put the full model number in the heading so that if someone googles that model my blog might come up. Good idea though sending the link to Fuji.<br /><br />We haven't bought a new camera yet, but are still researching and need to find time to go look at the Canon Bobskoot suggested. Will keep everyone posted. Now we know why we don't usually do impulse buys.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-62151785252242374972011-07-07T07:57:01.050-07:002011-07-07T07:57:01.050-07:00Sorry for your trouble and thanks for passing it a...Sorry for your trouble and thanks for passing it along.

I have a little canon SD1200 & love it. Maybe you got the made on 'Friday afternoon before quitting time camera' or the 'first thing Monday morning I don't want to be at work camera' . When we bought our daughter an upgrade camera for Christmas we bought a Nikon D5000 - she loves it. I think if you stick to Nikon or Canon you can't go wrong. Good luck with getting a replacement,Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-603339564482579232011-07-04T00:52:01.679-07:002011-07-04T00:52:01.679-07:00Wow, definitely has some issues.

Can't help with camera recommendations, but one possibility, I use a non-waterproof camera when kayaking. I keep it in a pelican box, then I just try be careful with it when out of the box. It's gotten wet from rain and/or splashing, and it wouldn't take a dunking, but it's worked out okay.Bluekathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13485258388887249275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-11058428935477319192011-07-03T10:38:31.352-07:002011-07-03T10:38:31.352-07:00Thank you for the update.

We don't have a Costco up here so no stores with a very generous return policy. <br /><br />RichardRichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-90158020063922032982011-07-03T00:18:42.268-07:002011-07-03T00:18:42.268-07:00Sorry to hear of your experiences Trobairitz, but ...Sorry to hear of your experiences Trobairitz, but thanks for the warning.
