Canon PowerShot S80 Problem \ Repair Needed Options
The "corrosion" would have to be severe to require replacement. If the
camera was not exposed to unusual conditions, you likely have a unit that was not cleaned or sealed properly from the factory. Forty years ago, I had a Nikon zoom lens for my FT-N. It started growing green stuff on the inside. It was returned to Nikon (I was in the Navy in Japan at the time) and Nikon rebuilt the lens, apologized, and sent the as tested tech specs for the individual lens, showing that it (after repair) exceeded the minimum (advertised) specs by quite a bit. It was a lot sharper after the repair, and the zoom function was much smoother. wrote in message ... As a follow up to my prior POST in Aug 2007 I was not able to fix it.
