I am having the same problem...in fact, I just went back and reread some of the reviews, because I can't believe I am the only one who is experiencing this. Everyone raves about this camera! I, too, would like to know what I am doing wrong.

Maybe need to check out the memory card. Have no problem w/my camera in the past 2 wks I have taken over 125 pic and still taking pictures so my advice is the memory card is it good or bad, try another memory card.

I believe you will need to "format" the memory card, or try purchasing a new memory card to try to use. You know how to erase images, so erase ALL images both on the memory card and on the internal memory which can hold 5-10 pictures. Try a new memory card (or borrow one from another unit or application) and attempt to use it. I've had memory cards fail and need replacing. Good luck.

My new printer has not printed even one decent photo. They have all been very low quality and I am starting to think my printer is defective in that respect as HP usually does such a good job with photos. Regular printing is very good.

Yep, I have the same problem. Luckily, I connected the camera with the card in it, directly into my PC with the USB connector that came with the camera. The pictures downloaded just fine. I thought the card was defective until I saw your post.

Unfortunately, camera didn't work properly (from the very beginning). I did not bother to return it, my fault. My only suggestion, if applicable, buy it locally. Good Luck

I have the same blurry problem, I think that I got a faulty camera. About 1 in 4 pictures are usable, this camera was a waste of money. Mount Fuji! eat my shorts! My cannon elph sd200 which is 3 years older takes far superior pictures and is 3.2 Mega pixels. Causing me to learn, its not the megapixels that matter.

This could very well be a SD card issue.... I've seen this happen on one of my friend's SLRs when they tried using a older SD card (that is not class 6 or higher).... Even if urs is class 6, it might not be a bad idea to try using a different SD Card, as the one that u mite be using now might be defective..... Good luck.....

One thing to make sure you do is put the card in and format it from the camera menu. I have yet to use it in a camera, I have only used it in my PSP, but it works great.

Hi, problem probably came from the flash memory card, you may try with different one (fast one like San Disk Ultra II or Extreme III). If you still get banding on images, then it's the camera, you should return it or exchange for another one.

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

I, also, believe that the "new" phone I ordered was not new. The camera does not produce clear, crisp pictures of the previous camera of the same type that was lost. Since I don't use my phone camera I did not return the phone but I would suggest that, if you rely on the phone camera, return the phone and request another new one.

I just got my camera back from the Cannon Factory and they said found that it was an internal issue, they replaced "something" and sent it back and it works just fine! Sorry this isn't a more helpful post for those of you without a warranty! I'll keep looking through my paperwork at home and see if they were more specific AT ALL in stating what the mystery "something" was that didn't work. Just wanted to update as I promised I would!

Your link went back to the memory card. What I can tell you is, I bought it to solve an older printer problem. I have a new camera that is less then one year old and it works just fine.

No, you have to take the picture with the camera and then print from what's on the camera. might be able to insert an sd card but the photo quality is so horrendous it's not worth it. The print is small, around 2 by 3? Very small and very pixelated.

If you take the card out and look to see a tiny slider, slide it the other way and put back in the camera. That should do it, or try a different card.

I am having the same exact issue. Quality settings and Class 4 memory cards seem to have very little effect on the poor picture quality. Very disappointing after the mostly stellar reviews I've been reading online.
