General Comments

I bought this camera in December 2002. I was happy until we were half way through a holiday in Florida when it developed a fault. The problem is that the on/off switch is on the mode dial at the back of the camera and is very easy to knock on accidently. Obviously being a zoom camera when this happens the lens extends and can jam. This happened to me on the said holiday in May 2003, so I didn't get use out of the spare battery and sd card that I bought especially.
I had the camera repaired under warrenty on my return. The service was quite quick.
The same thing has happened again July 2004 and because the warrenty has expired I have to pay £90+ to have it repaired. I've argued that the problem appears to be a design default to no avail. I'm still waiting for the repaired camera or a LS743 as a replacement, I'm pushing for the latter having read other reviews.
In the meantime I've bought a little Nikon Coolpix 2200 as a stand by. I'm very impressed so far. I made sure it had a seperate on/off switch on top of the camera.
