My Powershot G9 did fail on me while travelling many years ago. It wouldn't turn on after being shut off.

I had to use my G6 to continue shooting.

This was a known problem with that camera (loose screw causing a short) and it is repairable, but I've never taken the time to try to fix it.

The bottom line is that any camera can fail unexpectedly.

I had twice experience on camera failure during trip. The first was a Olympus EM10 II, its dial bounced off unexpectatedly and fell to abyss below. The second was Nikon 1 lens, failed during my last trip to Japan and succumbed to well know aperture stuck problem.

The charger for my Fuji died on vacation, that is also the last time I brought one charger with me.

That is the beauty of the Ms, small and light enough that you can actually bring 2 of them on a trip.

Yes, any camera would fail eventually, so better buy travel insurance for them.
