None that I can see, sad to say ...
Put in all fresh batteries, LCD comes up occasionally but won't stay on.
I just found an SD10 body-only for $189.00 so ordered that.

My SD9 top LCD is a mess. Most the icons aren't fully shown so you really can't use it.
I have to take a shot to see what the current ISO is at by reviewing the image. Then make changes using the controls. Rinse and repeat. At least I don't change ISO much on it, but I do go 100-400.
And then there is the battery power issue. LOL

Sorry to hear that.
That doesn't bother me so much; I use eneloop AAs and have two carriers for them. The ones in the grip last forever almost.

I hope that gets you up and running again.

The CR123A batteries burn out in 20-30 shots. That's less than a roll of film.
The AAs aren't the issue.
So I bought rechargeable CR123A batteries to be able to use the SD9 for more life. I love the colors of that sensor otherwise I wouldn't fuss around with it.
Can the memory card doors be swapped Ted?

Not that I can see, Scott, especially with my dysfunctional fingers.

Thanks - the good thing is that the SD10, unlike later models, the image count goes all the way up to 99999 before resetting to 1.

Sorry to hear about your SD9, but glad that you're up and running again with the SD10.

Thanks, Gary!
I could do Sigma full spectrum/IR again.
Nostalgia, this from Seng P Merrill's SD10, 20 years ago:

Years ago Seng and I did a little project--I ordered a bunch of different IR (and a couple UV) filters from a scientific glass company--I think Seng had mounts and we put together kits for some of the forum members to screw around with. I've got no idea where my stuff is for the SD10 anymore (I gave the camera to my BIL years ago).Thanks, Gary!

It's hard to fathom that Seng, ****, and Laurence are all gone now--they were all fantastic photographers and Seng and Laurence both had a big influence on how I viewed the world through my Foveon-powered cameras. RIP

That's the fun part of photography on the Foveon sensor. I never get tired of taking my FS-DP2 out for a walk, once in a while.
That shot works so well in monochrome IR!
