I purchased one in mid-August to use on a stand-up paddle board expedition with friends down the Red Deer River in Central Alberta, Canada. It performed flawlessly all week on a single charge. A couple of weeks later the battery would go flat overnight. Got a new battery, same thing. It would charge and operate the device, but next day....

Canon repaired it under warranty, and were very quick, about a week turnaround. They had to replace the main board.

It's a nifty, compact, and effective handy go-to that I never have off my person. The X10 power isn't too shabby.

BTW, I it replaces a six year old Powershot A710is. I have one photo blown up professionally to 18X24 or so, and you can't tell that it's a bit too much. I suspect you'll have a few shots suitable for large scale framing with this finer sensor. Don't be afraid to try with your two or three very best.

I'm glad that it worked well for you on your SUP expedition!

I just got a stand up paddle board myself (haven't even stood on it yet lol), which prompted me to start thinking of a compact camera to take with me when out on it. Which led me to discovering the 330 and being lucky enough to still find one for a great price. Stoked!

Cheers,
Wayne
