Frustrating camera
2007-11-17I bought this camera about 1 1/2 years ago, and I'm having to send it to the shop for the second time with the same problem. It freezes, and replacing the battery doesn't unfreeze it, so off to repair it goes. The first time, the shop suggested that it was because I didn't use Sony nickel-hydride rechargeable batteries. Happened the second time using those batteries, so it's is apparently a bigger problem than that. My old Kodak and my friends' other brands of digital camera haven't been in the shop once. I would not buy this product again.
Great Camera, Throw Away Included Batteries
2005-12-05Great Camera, Check The Batteries
I love this little camera-- especially the video capability (640x480, mpeg1, 30fps)-- great pics and high quality video files in a really small package.
Problem: I tried a couple of these and the lens motors stopped working. Finally, after returning twice and purchasing a different model (S60-- same problem), I traced the problem to the batteries. The included Sony batteries seem to come without much power left. In trouble-shooting, I had used the new generic non-alkaline batteries that I had on hand. As this didn't work, I thought the cameras were defective. Finally in the third camera, after the same problem appeared, I bought brand-name alkaline batteries. The camera started working again like a champ.
Conclusion: If the lens stops working, but the camera will still turn on in playback mode, it's probably not defective-- this seems to be the behavior when the batteries are too weak to power the lens. Replace the included Sony's with branded alkaline or high-quality rechargeables.
Sorry Amazon, the couple of cameras I returned are probably perfectly fine. Thanks for the great service in replacing and accepting returns.

Printer Buying Guide
What kind of printer is best for me?
Choosing the right printer can be a daunting task. There are several different types of printing technology to choose from, each suited for different needs. Printers come in all shapes and sizes, from tiny travel companions to workgroup workhorses; some are geared toward photographers, others are for multitaskers. And the many specifications for resolution and speed can be misleading. As a rule of thumb, inkjet printers are a must for long-lasting photos, while laser printers are best to produce speedy text documents.
