Hello.

Has anyone got this camera and experienced this 'E18' error that seems to plague this model?

nope. I have the S400...or Ixus 400 in europe...and I never have any errors like that. How old is it, send it back!

i read about this error on dpreview.com when i was in the market for a dc.
looks like this guy got it fixed, but not w/out a long wait:

I havn't bought one, just heard they were good then investigated it and theis error seems to be a big problem. Does anyone have the Sony DSC-P150?

A buddy of mine has the S500 (same model of canon as the Ixus just the US name) and has never had any problems. From what I hear Sony DC's are crap. From what I've heard its Nikon and Canon who are running shit in the DC world.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Is E18 the one where the lens is stuck? I had the same thing on my S400 after I dropped it once. Canon's customer service was the shit, they overnighted it back to me for free so I could have it for Christmas (2003)

i've got a sony, and it's quite good, especially with the carl ziess lens. the only drawback is how expensive memorystick pro is, but for about the same price as a 1gb stick, i could get an iPod photo with the belkin adapter.
