Ixus Digital Range, burning, smoke from flash units

Ixus 210, Ixus 870, Ixus 105, Ixus, 110
Smoke arising from flash unit, this is not due to dust as canon claims. This is a fault in flash wiring assembly. However, Canon would not accept that this is a problem. After a while my camera flash stopped functioning, total burn out. The camera is 13 months old
I complained to Canon who said there is nothing they could do, I can have the flash unit replaced at my cost. Jessops explained that this is a common problem on the Ixus range of digital camers.
For this problem these camera range is not recommended.
