Hi everyone as I got a few questions regarding Digital Cameras as the one I’ve owned and used is a Canon Power Shot That I’ve owned and used since 2005 but started using in 2006. The camera worked well for over 12 years of photography and I NEVER had anything happen to it or go wrong until recently just over a month ago. While out on the river to see and photograph the PRT on their last trip of the season, I assume that I may have dropped the camera in my car somehow as now it does not work and my zoom lens is stuck and it won’t come back in if I am making any sense with this? I get an E18 error and I read up on this and it says this is common among Canon Power Shot users. I tried to take it to a local repair shop and they’re saying there’s nothing he can do to it and that I’m best to go buy a new one. I figure maybe they’re right as by the time I get it fixed, it could cost me as much or more than to just buy a new one. I’ve done searches and have an idea of what type to get probably another Canon Power Shot. I don’t want to discuss the one I’m interested in or prices at this time. Basically I just want to know if anyone else has had something like this happen and what they did about it? Although in reading on the E18 error, it says it can be fixed and I tried it on my own but with no results! That’s why it’s probably time for a new one with a 14 year old camera and just over 12 years of usage shooting digital photos with it. I’m sure I’ll have a new and good one again soon. Thanks for reading and sorry this is so long on this post.
