After 6 months of use...

Was in the same boat as you around 6 months ago. Bought mine NIB on ebay as all the stores had sold through their stock and Canon didn't have any refurbs yet.

Takes nice photos, but you know that by now ;-). The flat mode dial is a little difficult to use, and quickly changing settings is a bit difficult, but the more I get used the the camera, the faster it gets.

The one thing that's now become unacceptable is the well-known battery issue, which started around a month ago. Seems Canon had a defect in the battery terminals so it doesn't make a reliable contact with the battery, and Charge the Battery warning shows up all the time now. Mine was indeed a serial number that was part of the "recall", but thought the fact that it was Made in japan, not China like some are, would mean I got a good one, but that's not the case. Sending back to Canon for repair as soon as New Years is over.
