<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 749721, member: 4552"]HAD several Cannons. A1, AE-1, AE-1 program. All used difficult to find batteries althoug when found, only about double a AA. All failed at one time or another and usually the cost of repairs were in the hundreds of dollar ranges. Have had Mamias, Nicon's and several others that required adding a lense. Cannon A1 with motor drive weighed more than was really worth. USED to have many, many lenses and found changing them at parties, picnics, etc was really a pain in the ....... Once started with the Cannon Mavica series I got used to just being able to take pictures. Now have seveal digital cameras and some do really end up costing to have fixed and they too break down like anything made today. </p><p>My Fuji S7000 and S9000 have both stopped working. Both have cost about 1/3 the original price to get fixed. Both are really great for close ups, no interchangable lenses, hot shoe for additional flashes and a XD and Compact flash card at the same time. Still sort of large.</p><p>My Cannon S410 has a battery that cost me $35 for a back up one juar in Case. My Samsung L73 is really great but the batty failed after a month and new one cost $30 and only due to I knew the guy at the camera store. </p><p>For someone that wants to keep the cost down to the $100 or there range, suggestions to get a camera where the battery, extra lenses, etc costs more that the original $100 just doesn't cut it. </p><p>Nothing like those recharagle AA batteries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
