Re: Canon PowerShot SX530 HS Lens Error

Wildcat,

First off, welcome to the Forums..!!

Unfortunately, the symptoms you are reporting indicate the end of the line for your SX530, even though the camera really is not that old.

That Lens Error issue, in its many different iterations, is the weak link in the Canon PowerShot chain, and many folks here, myself included, have experienced that failure.

You could attempt D-I-Y repairs, with a high probability of not succeeding, or you could pay Canon to repair the camera, which would not make sense from an economic viewpoint.

I believe it's time to replace the camera.

Again, welcome to the forums, and, sorry for the bad news.....
