RATING DETAILS
Full Review
I did a fair amount of research before asking for this camera from my then girlfriend. She went out and spent the small fortune ($400 at the time) and I had to spend extra for the protective case....something I still have a hard time doesn't come with a camera in this league. I had the camera in the case and it got 'bumped'...not even wacked...just bumped. Consequently the lens is now jammed and the LCD readout is all screwed up and unreadable. The kicker is that when I inquired about getting it repaired I was told it would cost between $200 and $300 and now seeing as how that's what the camera now sells for it's not worth it ......I might as well buy a new one. Bottom line....fragile camera.
