Another thing to keep in mind that my S2 has been taking some screwy pics- Its just over a year old- I bought it in June of 2006 and in August of 2007 I emailed Canon to ask them about it and they said b/c its out of warranty it would cost $170 to LOOK at it plus parts and labor!!!
When I sent my Fuji in to have it looked at it was over the warranty and the first look and fix was free. But when I sent it in the 2nd time a couple months later it was $170 to fix it.
But I remembered on my canon I paid $60 for the extended warranyt thing so I sent it back thru best buy for that and that was for 5 years! so for $12 a year..
