I would have been quite frustrated if this had happened while I was on vacation!
I just recently purchased a Canon SD900 Titanium cased 10 megapixel camera, for both resolution and durability. I had taken about 100 (beautiful) pictures when, on power-up, grinding gears alerted me to a problem. Well, time to send it back into Canon.
I've read a few reports of people getting charged for things that should be covered under warranty, so I'm a bit nervous as the camera was very expensive to begin with. The camera has been amazing so far and I've been really impressed with the device, but to have it break within the first few weeks of owning it makes me a bit wary. My old 6MP powershot was a work horse that never had a problem, until it was stolen. Good thing I kept all the packaging and warranty card!
So much for increased durability due to titanium...

Ok so Canon service wasn't so bad. I had to pay shipping there and got the camera back within a week of sending it out. Although I was worried when they stated "Damage caused by sand, dust, and other particulates are not covered by warranty and will result in a chargable repair."
I guess I am supposed to keep it in a vacuum while using it. Hope my spacesuit comes in soon.
This is great info to know.
