Digital camers blurred pictures problem?

My digital camera (Canon Ixus II, just over 2 yrs old) has started to take ramdon blurred pictures. First pic can be sharp, 2nd pic a bit blurred, 3rd pic very blurred. Then 4th pic sharp again. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it easily fixed? Should I upgrade to a new camera? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.

The cost of repair against the cost of a replacement is what you have to weigh up, so treat yourself to something nice and shiny and new with a guarantee on it.

Yeah i have had this problem before then I realised every time that I took a photo I was more pissed than the last time

Try standing still, usually works.

i have stock 50% discount if you want a good deal

Sounds terminal. The way prices are falling it will almost be certain that the cost of replacement will be equal or less than just getting it looked at let alone repaired. As a thought small cameras like the ixus do have a hard life...has it been powered up in a pocket where the lens can't extend?

I had same problem, after few tests I realised that the battery of the Camera and flashgun should be fully charged. With partially charged or old battery you will have the problem of blurred pictures. By the way I am not a technical or very experienced person.
