Canon - PowerShot A520 Digital Camera —

I have had the Canon PowerShot A520 for two years and it has been a wonderful tool for capturing my most special moments. This camera is wonderful. It takes beautiful pictures! The only problem that I've found with this camera is the fact that the lense collects dirt and grime and will often have trouble opening, causing the E18 error. Just take care of your camera and clean it often and you'll be set for any occassion.
