My Canon Went Kaput at Wet’n'wWild

The family’s first trip to Wet’n'Wild Hawaii was fun even with the crowds and sun out in force. With young ones, we hung around the Keiki Kove, Water World Playground, and the Kapolei Kooler, having a blast going down the various water slides.

Unfortunately my trusty Canon PowerShot SD700IS camera gave out sometime during the day. I didn’t take many pictures and didn’t bring it near the water, but it still went kaput. Well sorta. The camera powers up fine and seems to be working, but the images taken are washed out and sometimes all white. Here are some samples.

The camera was working early on.

Then the images got white-ish and lined through.

Too much fun at Wet’n'Wild? I’m guessing it’s not cost effective to repair a 2+ year old digital camera, and I did pick up a Samsung TL34HD camera at Christmas. So I’ll be retiring my Canon. :(

If you are on "auto for your settings" your auto white balance/exposure sensor might have failed. Try a manual mode and even try manually adjusting exposure and white balance.

Thanks for the suggestion but after this, I went the DSLR route. :)
