Hello, everybody! I use (only) a Canon PowerShot A520 and I've got the question that making much noise is a sign of breaking down? I have the camera since 2005 and I took nearly 10 000 photos with it. Thanks for the answers

Possible. 

I suppose that's possible. I associate noise with super low light. The battery might not be very strong after 10,000 photos, but the camera itself should be good...{depending on how well you took care of it of course.}

Perhaps clarification is in order.  The noise you are speaking of is the kind you hear with your ears?  Or, is it the kind you see as grain on your photos?

Gears, motors and bearings age and wear.  A byproduct of that is noise -- the kind you hear.  You could send it for service if you really love it, but it might be time to start shopping, if not actually purchasing.

I always tried to take as much care as I could so I don't think that it was a problem.

I am speaking of noise in pictures, the grains, which made some of my photos quite bad...

A few years ago I replaced the battery because I could never be sure if it has energy enough to go out to photograph.

I was thinking about buying a new set because I can hardly take advantage of a lot of ability and knowledge of mine. So, in the near future I would buy a new one. Only I like it so much... :)

Thanks for the answers! 

Newer cameras typically handle digital noise much better than older ones.  The processors, sensors and software have all evolved a lot in the last several years.

Trying shooting with low ISO or use flash with diffuser and see the result.

Hello Alan! I always shot with ISO 50, but since then I own a new camera that produces very little noise only at 3200. Anyway, thank you :)
