Re: G15 Scratches it's lens like other G Series ???

Thats a common Canon failure also in other series.

I had the same problem with a SX260 and SX240.

In the first case Canon discovered poor construction did a replacement of the lens unit under warranty - in the second case (SX 240) they pretended that two sandcorns had been found in the camera interior and they sent the camera back in parts with the screws in a seperate bag. They mentioned that very soon the lens won't extend anymore and the deep scratch on the frontlens was a result of bad care.

If that means that Canon cameras are not allowed to go to a beach even if they never touch sandy hands, or ground, I recommend to consider your next holidays in the mountains or in the backyard.

Forget going to the seaside - or simply forget Canon.

p.s.

the SX 240 is still working - more than one year and thousands of shots later.
