General Comments

First of all one of the lugs holding the strap broke after about 12 months and now even worse the Fuji Finepix 2800 digital camera will not turn on despite cleaning battery terminals etc

pc world refuse to do anything
the camera is 2 yrs 1 month old and according to trading standards consumer law protects me so guess who will probably have to sue pc world.

I came across a helpful site which explained that the fault was well known:
