Summary: Out for repairs - AGAIN!
Comment: I love the camera itself but there seems to be a problem with the shutter sticking. This is the second time I'm having to send it back for the same problem. I feel like this should be a " recall " product!

Summary: A Great Camera
Comment: Since this is my first digital camera, I really can't compair it to others out there. However, it does everything I need it to do and has more features than I make use of! I've never had a problem with it.

Summary: Powershot A520 On Switch
Comment: The Powershot A520 On Switch stopped working right after I started using the camera.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Negative
Comment: For average people who want a camera that just works-and takes good pics you should not buy this. I don't know about the specifics, but like other reviewers mine got stuck and quit working for no reason after a couple of months. So, I don't really see what all the bells and whistles are for if it doesn't even take a picture. It was fine while it worked, it ate batteries but the pics were good.

Summary: A520 Lens problem
Comment: I have owned several Canon digital cameras and like them very much. I purchased the A520 as a gift for a family member. After several months the lens cover problem that everyone writes about started happening. It would stick paritally open or closed or all the way open. The key word being stick or stuck. I took it to a Canon Service Center and they repaired it under warranty. After trying to use it for the 1st time several weeks later the lens cover was stuck open and would not budge. I took it back to the Service Center and they repaired it again. While looking at the paperwork after the repair they stated courtesy repair only and not under warranty. It was under warranty and had 90 days from the date they did not repair it the first time. After emailing Canon they said to just email them if I have a problem and they would see what they could do. Very POOR. I like Canon digital cameras but wish I had never purchased the A520. I bought it because of it's low price, which was a big mistake.
