Canon Powershot SD200 rattling noise question

[bruck35]

Hello all-

I recently purchased a Canon SD200 from blueswitchdigital.com, and my first 2 days using it were a blast with no problems. But on the third day, the camera developed a raddle when I shook it a little bit. I have been putting little stress on the camera and have only used it for indoor shots, but now if I shake it even a tiny bit it sounds like there's something loose inside of it.

My question is, is this somthing I should be worried about, or is this common place among canon digicams? And if I should do something about it, would it be best to return it back to blueswitchdigital minus a 15% restocking fee, or try the canon warranty, or maybe something else?

I've really enjoyed the little guy and am hoping to find an inexpensive way around the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Another person asked the same question about the SD300 and here is the answer someone else gave them. I am not good at all these message board tricks like quotes and links, but you can cut and paste this to get to the original post. http://www.dcresource.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3474

The noise you hear in your camera is the orientation sensor, it tells the camera if it is horizontal or vertical, and rotates the pictures accordingly.
