It lives!!

My beloved S90 is back from the dead! It had the dreaded lens error thing but I think this was more due o the fact I dropped it with the lens out than any Canon issues!

Anyway, it's been sat in a drawer since then and I decided to put it up on eBay as due to the birth of my son I a) needed a p&s to compliment my dslr and b) due the arrival I don't have the funds to replace the S90 so was going to use the proceeds to by a cheap p&s and live with the IQ issues.

So, out it came, on the bay it went but then I decided to have a play wit it and after a bit of 'gentle' persuasion and a couple of manoeuvres that I'm fairly convinced would invalidate even the most robust of warranties I've got it working again.

Ok it clicks sometimes whilst zooming but the IQ is spot on and it focuses as well as it ever did.

I'm so happy, I had forgotten just what good photos can come out of the S90 and I won't have to put up with some cheap and cheerful p&s.

Cheers

Danny B
