I had this camera for a little over two years and it ate batteries like candy, had a confusing screen interface that malfunctioned frequently, then it just died, and was too expensive to fix. It wasn't misused, and I have a bunch of other cameras, mostly 35mm, that I've used for 25 years or more without breakage, my first was a Canon AT1. But this camera was nothing short than disposable and disappointing. Too bad, I never would've expected that from Canon previously.
