Is my experience systematic for Canon PnS cameras?
I've owned a number of Canon P&S cameras with this lens cover design (S90, S100, SX230, SX280, G10, G15) -- still using G15, S100 and SX280 -- and I've never experienced this problem. This makes me wonder if there is something systemic in your use of the cameras which could be causing this problem? For example, if you carried or handled the camera in such a way that your hand or fingers pressed in on the blades when the camera was off it seems that could press the blades inward so they can contact the lens.
Hi Phil.
You are absolutelly right - it seems to be always a similar problem with the SX series.
Once you press the ON switch while the camera is still in a case or pocket the lens will not extend completely and the camera tells you to restart again. This does not necessarily mean that the blades are pressed but it probably helps causing the scratches. If the blades would be worked out properly by the supplier such deep scratches as on my lenses could never have happened. So I am convinced that the bigger part of the problem are the badly shaped blades
Cheers,
