Just a thought for you. You are not necessarily limited to the 12 month Canon warranty. There is such a thing as an implied warranty. When you pay good money for a quality item, you are entitled to expect a reasonable
lifetime from it. Approach Canon through the retailer you purchased it from, and if you get no joy, go to Consumer Protection in your state.
Provided the camera was not damaged by a voltage spike, or some other external factor such as dew, I think you stand a good chance of winning your case. You can google implied warranty for more information.
I hope this helps you.
