General Comments

It takes wonderful pictures but I'm very disappointed that I haven't even had it for a year and it's giving me problems. I never dropped or shook it so I just don't understand. It gets an error...D: 5e02. Then lens will keep adjusting a while before it shuts off again. I haven't been able to fix it and repairing it about as much as the camera. I haven't even had it for a year!

The video record option is nice, but you need a lot of light if you want it to be viewed properly. Will never buy this kind of camera again. *frown*

    The error message (D: 5e02) means that your lens is dying / dead. It just happened to mine and I was told that it could be repaired, but it would cost as much as a new camera. I've only had mine 2 years and I've been really careful with it, so I'm a bit annoyed, but I have used it a lot!

    I have just had a quote on repairing my camera with the exact same fault. The camera needs to be sent to Portugal for repair (nobody in UK repairs them) and will cost 172.50 to repair. I am claiming on the travel insurance for the breakage but I also bought an underwater housing for it as well which has never been out of the box....Ebay here we come :-(
