In August our Canon Powershot S45 slipped from my wife's lap onto
concrete. The display and all photos came out black after that. I was
concerned this might fall under "abuse" and void the warranty, but when
I called they said to send it in, that the techs would determine if it
was abuse or not, and they wouldn't make any repairs without our consent
unless they were free.

Even with noticeable scratches on the corners where it hit the concrete,
they went ahead and repaired it under warranty. Chalk up one positive
experience with Canon.

Since then, I lost our camera! Warranty and insurance don't help with
that. Getting a carrying case that can go on your belt helps, and you
can find those for a lot less than $60.

Thanks everyone.

I went ahead and got the insurance.
