Unfortunately, I bought my PowerShot SD400 on the 9th of September (this year) and 4 days later, the screen cracked. NewEgg refuses to replace it, stating that I a) damaged the camera physically or b) it must have been damaged when I shipped it for an RMA.

I am about to try to send it to Canon to see if they will replace it however I doubt they will so now I am about to be out $164 for something I didn't break...

Technically, this would make a good class-action lawsuit because it is obvious that Canon is trying to hide their problem by quietly releasing the 450 with "a bigger screen."

Complete crap.

I think you can order LCD from Canon for 50$ and try to replace it yourself.

Replacing it yourself void's the warranty, although, Canon's warranty is so flimsy that I am sure taking the camera out of the box would void the warranty as well.

Plus it is the principle of the thing...paying $50 for something I didn't do but is a result of Canon's poor engineering?

I feel your pain, just a suggestion, one of my friends did this. Canon warranty is crap. Also if you bought the camera with credit card with buyer protection, you may try to get your money back that way.

How would I know if my card had Buyer Protection? I have a Student Citi Platinum Dividend Card if that helps...

they should've mailed you Rules and Benefits booklet soon after you sighed up or together with the CC. Also you can go on Citi website and look there or give a call to their Customer Service. Platinum cards normally have 90 day buyer protection standard.

Yeah I think I'm gonna wait too... god knows it's hard, but the sd450 seems like its worth the wait..... only thing is I hope Dell releases some good coupons because I know their laptop deals are getting weaker by the day, hehe.

ordered this camera on Friday. Email Dell and complain about the camera being on back order status and they give me a $50 discount for the trouble. And I just got this camera today. It looks so sweet.

I got the SD450 for $278.80 TOTAL (after tax and ship) Gotta love the dell stackable discounts!! Anyone know how fast an SD card this thing needs? I don't want to slow it down at all, but I don't want to overpay for a fast card it can't take advantage of...
