It lasted me way less than a year. And I treated it like gold. It starts with the lens and goes to pot fast. And neither Amazon nor Canon back up their product. This thing will last about as long as a bad television program. Do yourself a favor, seek another camera, and deal with an outlet where you can talk to someone should things go belly-up.

Just got this camera from a private purchase as the bride and groom got two different Canon models as wedding presents and decided to sell this one for $125 brand new! I'm happy that they decided to sell this model instead of the SD1100...
I had a Canon SD500 but the wind blew it over while it was on a tripod during a vacation back in June 2008. So being thoroughly familiar with Canon, I decided to keep it within the Canon family. This camera exceeded all my expectations, even after thorough research online on alot of cameras... I was disappointed though, that the battery pack wasn't the same as I was hoping to utilize them without having to buy new ones.
I digress; back to camera review!
What I liked about this camera as compared from my previous (SD500) in priority order:
1) Large LCD screen of 3" which I don't understand why the newer models are only at 2.5"?!
2) Time Zone option. Now I can simply enter what time zone I'm at if I'm not at my "HOME" location without having to change time/date
3) Up to 1600 ISO so that I can take pictures in relatively dark environment without using flash if I so choose
4) Small and compact and best of all, LIGHT! I can barely feel the weight of this thing. The SD500 used to feel quite heavy even though they are both the same dimensions (SD500 was slightly fatter)
5) Custom self timer where I can change the delay longer than 10s as my SD500 was restricted to
6) Lots more SCN options that will allow you to get the best automated picture exposure for various situations
7) Continuous shooting capability (multiple shots where the limit is only the size of the your SD card).
8) Able to custom create folders in the SD memory card so that I can organize my shots... for example - if I am vacationing in Europe, I can create a folder for England then another for France, etc... that way, I'm not half guessing where each scenery was shot from
9) I can embed date into the picture if I so choose
