I'm trying to decide between the A75 and the A95 at this point. They've both received decent reviews from Consumer Reports, but there's no mention of any E18 problems in their reviews. Just trying to get some feedback. Thanks!

repairs. ConsumerAffairs.com reports that the "lens has a feature called bellows claw, which is how to restart canon camera a gear that physically extends and retracts the lens. A piece that holds the lens, the barrier plate, is not large enough canon lens error 01 and can sometimes cause the bellows claw to malfunction, resulting in a stuck lens".[citation needed] The result is a black screen that only contains the error message, E18. Another problem mentioned on the site blames a https://www.cnet.com/forums/discussions/canon-e18-error-56917/ sticky iris in the lens, caused by grease entering inside from the microphones built into the lens. The buildup freezes up the ability of the lens to open. Although the use of the E18 error coding made this problem seem to be the particular domain of Canon cameras, the problem is actually quite common throughout all cameras with telescopic lens barrels. As a result, Canon has since dropped the use of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E18_error error code in its newer cameras. In its place it has adopted the more common term "lens error" that other manufacturers use. As such, its newer cameras report this term when the problem occurs. Contents 1 Causes 2 Repairing the E18 error 3 Consumer response and class action 4 References 5 External links Causes[edit] According to Canon, one may get an E18 due to any of the following: Camera activating and lens opening while in a confined space or being blocked Extracted lens getting jarred Low battery condition as the unit is turned on or off Dropping of the camera Foreign substances, such as dust, sand or dirt entering into the camera body. General jarring of the camera "General camera malfunction" One major contributor to E18 lens errors is the improper use of camera cases, or the carrying of cameras in pockets. An inadvertent activation of the camera while in the case or pocket may cause the lens to extend with the lens restricted in its movement, causing the error. Another cause is that sand, dust, and dirt will accumulate in the bottom of the case if it is not cleaned regularly (and lint for pockets). These materials readily cling to the camera by electrostatic build-up from the camera rubbing against the side o

The E18 error as I understand it is when the lens fails to retract, and that can be caused by dirt or water getting into the lens mechanism. I would suspect it could also be caused by jarring the camera, such as would happen if you dropped it.I don't know of any way to repair the camera if you get the E18 error, other than return it to Canon for service. I have now owned a total of five Canon cameras and have never (yet) had an E18 error.Sandy-- hide signature -- God gave us an incredible world.

on my Canon PowerShot SD450, which prevented my lens from extending when the power was turned on, and the fix wasn’t nearly as difficult as I had expected. I’ve even snapped some shots of the process so that you can follow along at home, and fix your own camera if you are experiencing the same problem that I was. If you’re not yet familiar with the E18 error, check out this information on the topic from Wikipedia: The E18 error is an error message on Canon digital cameras. The E18 error occurs when anything prevents the zoom lens from properly extending or retracting.[1] The error has become notorious in the Canon user community as it can completely disable the camera, requiring expensive repairs. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E18_error) This is a fairly prevalent problem with the PowerShot cameras, and a class action lawsuit was filed (but dismissed) against Canon: A Chicago law firm, Horwitz, Horwitz & Associates, has already filed a class action,[4] while the law firm of Girard Gibbs & De Bartolomeo LLP are investigating this camera flaw and may issue a class-action lawsuit against Canon.[5] There is at least one other.[6] Although the suit was dismissed in a court of law, the plaintiffs are appealing. Fortunately, at least in my case, the fix did not require returning the camera to a Canon repair facility or having to take unreasonably complex steps. My solution for the PowerShot SD450/IXUS 55 follows: (You’ll need a very small Philips head screwdriver, #00, to remove the screws) There are six screws holding the metal frame of the camera body together, two on each side, and two on the bottom. Remove all screws, pop the strap-hook plate (sorry, probably not the most technical term there), then gently lift the front plate off by pulling up from the bottom, and remove the back plate in the same fashion. These should come off r
