Description

The listing, Powershot 12.1 MP SD780 IS Digital ELPH Camera as is has ended.

Powershot 12.1 MP SD780 IS Digital ELPH Camera! I won this camera on a Listia Rewards auction and used well over 35,000 bids to get it! Unfortunately I dropped it and jammed the lens in open position and now it won't work. I sent it to Canon Customer Service and they said they would repair it for $90 (which is a drop in the bucket of what this camera is worth), however I just don’t have the $90 for that right now. If you know how to repair cameras it’s entirely possible that you can repair it for absolutely nothing. I have a feeling it’s just a problem that can be adjusted inside the camera if you open it but I don’t want to try it for fear I might make something worse. Here is the original link that Listia used for the camera when I won it as it will give you more info.

The pictures it made before my "boo boo" were awesome!

Canons are really the best camera out there.

Nov 18th, 2010 at 9:07:22 AM PST by

I know and I am so bummed I don't have the money to repair it :(

Nov 18th, 2010 at 9:10:27 AM PST by

This is an awesome camera. It seems this is a glitch with these. sorry to hear about it. Will be a good auction for someone.

Nov 19th, 2010 at 2:06:30 PM PST by

Yes, it is an awesome camera and made the most awesome pictures! I hope someone can put it to use and knows how to repair it. Thanks for looking!

Actually, Canon is one of the best (not the best) cause Kodak is right up there with Canon. Kodak takes very sharp, bright, and colorful pics.

Thanks :)

There are a lot of great cameras out there and I'm sure there is one that can be called "the best" because each one has their own pros and cons.

Does it come with the usb cable, charger, etc?

Nov 21st, 2010 at 1:37:37 AM PST by

Sorry I didnt realize I left all that info off the description. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. It comes with the battery, battery charger, manual and solutions disk in original box with original Amazon receipt from Listia. If it goes over 10,000 bids I'll include a memory card and usb cable (which I'll have to purchase). Thanks

I also forgot to mention it, but this does also include the A/V cable that came with it which for for t.v., etc to play content of camera.

It all depends on who ran the assembly line when your camera was made... I have had two kodak cameras with the malfunctioned lenses and one that is perfect and I also have a canon that has had no problems. I swear by nikon and am saving to buy one on black friday... Good luck to all.

i think this is a wonderful auction!! :) so cannon said it would cost about 90$ to fix?

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 6:50:51 AM PST by

Yes, exactly $90 for them to fix it, however I think if I had a local camera shop it would be cheaper but I've looked all around where I live and there isn't a repair shop within at least 50 miles of me :(

So if you have a local camera shop you may be able to get it done for less. thanks!

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 8:55:45 AM PST by

thank you so much for letting me know, there is a local camera shop near me. Is there anything in paticular I should know? I think I might give them a call to see how much it would cost to fix it :)

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 6:48:23 PM PST by

Just what I stated in the listing should be what they need to know, was dropped on desk and now lens is stuck. Hope they can give you good news!

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 8:58:14 PM PST by

also, does the camera come with a carrying case? I am just wondering :)

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 6:49:03 PM PST by

No there was no case with it, sorry.

Nov 23rd, 2010 at 8:56:49 PM PST by

I am praying that I can win this camera :) I have been keeping my eye on it!!!! Thank you for lising this auction :)

Nov 25th, 2010 at 11:08:47 AM PST by

You're very welcome, good luck and hope you find someone who can repair it inexpensively for you!
