Summary: Flash stopped working
Comment: I bought this almost exactly 2 years ago, and I turned it on the other day and went to take a picture indoors that required a flash, and the flash would not work. It was set to automatic flash. Using the auto setting, I thought there used to be 3 flash settings (auto, forced flash and no flash), but now there were only 2. I took it outside on a sunny day and used the auto flash, and the flash went off outside! Something is messed up and it has the light and dark confused.
Thinking I hit something and changed a setting, I reset it to the factory defaults and it still doesn't work. It will probably be too expensive to get it fixed, and it's weird but I just upgraded to a Nikon D50. I must have known this camera was about to die.
Even when it worked, half the time pictures came out blurry. I either got fantastic crystal clear shots or blurry ones as if the auto focus missed. Maybe the camera was defective the entire time I had it. No more Canons for me.

Summary: Love this camera
Comment: I have been using this camera for well over a year and have found no problems with it. I get great pictures either at work or play. I have taken over 1500 pictures. The fold out viewer a great plus.

Comment: Add another E18 error code complaint to the list! I purchased the camera about a year ago, and have had the E18 error for about the last 2 months. The camera will intermitently freeze up and not work at all, just beep at you and give you an error code E18. I've tried all the recommended fixes from the compressed air to the alignment twist. Nothing seems to keep it functioning for more than a few shots. Canon wants nothing to do with the fix, and estimates repairs between $150 and $200. Save the headaches, and buy another camera from a different manufacturer!

Summary: Good until...E18
Comment: Here's one more A95 to add to the ever increasing list of E18 failures.
Thanks to the horror stories from the other posters I'm not even going to waste my time trying to get this repaired. The camera is only about 2 years old... guess I'll put it back in the box and wait to see the outcome from the class action suits!
The camera really performed nicely when it was working... thus the 2 stars. Hope you have better luck than me if you get one.

Summary: Broke, and REPAIRS ARE ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 90 DAYS! Boo, Canon!
Comment: I got the dreaded "E18" error after owning this (naturally) for just over a year. Repairs will be at least $100, and REPAIRS ARE ONLY GUARANTEED FOR 90 DAYS...even if the exact same problem occurs again! This is clearly a design flaw (just read how many users had the same problem). My first PhotoShot broke after about a year and a half, and since I liked the ease of use and basic design, I chalked it up to bad luck and bought another. Big mistake.
