My A620 had the identical problem ..... the batteries were grounded out when the display button was depressed which generated the "Change Batteries" error msg. After Canon Irvine failed to repair my camera after two attempts & a $ 79.00 repair charge, I elevated this to Canon customer service in Virginia who promptly notified the manager of the repair dept. in Irvine, CA. After 2 or 3 direct conversations with this manager, they finally repaired the camera & admitted that the issue was not a battery problem, but a direct short when the display button was depressed.... The repair required 30 days total. (Welcome to customer service in America !) Regarding Norm’s problem….

Of course, the repairs were out of warranty. When I twice asked for the reason for the failure, Canon did not reply. It is definitely a camera problem (also in the SX10-IS), because it doesn't matter whether one uses alkaline or rechargeable batteries. When I sent in my SX10-IS for the same type of repair, I specifically asked for an explanation. I never got a reply. It seems that Canon's once-vaunted customer service has evaporated. Canon has still not answered my inquiries.

I have the Short Course in SX10iS Photography book, by Dennis Curtin, but it seems to be a book on general photography, and not about how to take specific shots. Is there a website of just SX10iS photos, with the settings used to take the shot? When I purchased a Minolta A1, many years ago, we had access to a repository of just A1 photos. One more: Has anyone upgraded the CHDK firmware with a MAC? Will that upgrade ever be available on an SD card? The procedure I read to upgrade was complicated, and above my level of expertise. I love this camera, and will soon get the 430ex flash. I would like to find a more in-depth instruction guide/course specific to the SX10iS, and also a forum for just this camera. Many thanks What settings are needed to stop the wings of a humming bird?

However I had a lot of troubles to find out what was actually wrong - namely as I was told it was not Canon's policy to inform the customers about what was wrong if the failure took place during warranty time..."DC connection" has been replaced...strange policy I must add...but the most important is that the camera works fine.
