It was my understanding that most merchants sent back their batches of cameras due to the recall. One thing to look for is the serial number on your camera. Look at the bottom of your Canon PowerShot A650IS camera to find your serial number. The batches that were defective according to Canon is where there is a 0 (zero) in the 5th position of your serial number sequence. The new batches have a 1 in the 5th position and my new one certainly do have that. However, if you have a zero in the 5th position and you have a red dot inside your battery cover, then that camera was fixed through Canon's warranty and the red dot signifies that. At least that's what I had read through the Canon site and other forums! Good luck to you, this is a great camera! In response to comment under: My blog is back – life of jean… lives again!
