My Review 

I bought a Canon PowerShot SX120IS in May of 2010. In June of 2011, it quit working, and Canon said they could fix it if I sent it in and paid for the repair. For what I paid for the camera, it should have lasted longer than 13 months -- it's not like I used it everyday. Prior to the Canon, I had an Olympus that I had 5+ years, and it was run over by a lawn tractor and is still working today without having to fix it after the lawn tractor incident. Canon sent me a survey to take about 1 1/2 weeks ago, and I heard nothing back from them. I am in the market for a new camera and Canon will be on the list to compare.
