Has anyone else incurred this issue with a black line on the LCD screen with this model camera? Thinking of purchasing one, is why I'm asking. Thank's

I haven't, but then again mine didn't last long enough to know whether it would have happened down the line.

I had one and I can say the picture quality is terrible. Every pic I took for 2 years was blurry and grey. I bought it brand new and regretted it. I replaced it with a Panasonic Lumix which is fantastic.

I had that issue appear shortly after I purchased the Z70. Fujifilm wouldn't honor the warranty but fortunately for me Amazon was willing to take the return and issue a refund. I would recommend staying away from any Fujifilm products. A company that doesn't honor their warranties is a company nobody should purchase products from.

Lcd screens can develop problems like the one you're speaking about. The camera has been out of production for so long that getting it serviced would be impossible. I wouldn't pay more than $25 with shipping.

No, but I would not recommend this camera. The pictures always turned out blurry. If you read other reviews, they would agree with that.

Sounds like it may be a bad camera. I have no idea why it would be doing this. Did it function correctly before? If so, it may be going bad.

Hi,I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:

Hey there, I just had this same thing happen to my camera!!! The camera was not dropped or anything and it seemed to just appear out of the blue. One minute I am taking pictures and it looked fine, then I look down and the screen internally is cracked, the outside of the LCD does not have a scatch on it. I am about to send it off to Olympus to get a warrentyl repair, but could use any other instances of this happening as evidence that this is not my fault. Please let me know what you were able to get done.Thanks,Nick

I just got my camera back from the Cannon Factory and they said found that it was an internal issue, they replaced "something" and sent it back and it works just fine! Sorry this isn't a more helpful post for those of you without a warranty! I'll keep looking through my paperwork at home and see if they were more specific AT ALL in stating what the mystery "something" was that didn't work. Just wanted to update as I promised I would!

I really appreciate your answer to my question and so quickly too. Thanks! That one negative review about lines in the LCD, increasing lines, is sort of what is holding me back, but wow, what an optical zoom which is the main attraction for me, as I suspect it is for all who purchase it, but I am still on the fence here. You never know how the unit will arrive to you which makes me reluctant to get a memory card until I see it is working probably, so thank you so much for the information. Much appreciated!

I have experienced the same lines on display when recording however when viewing the recordings on memory card on computer the images are clear. I have stopped trying to see what is being displayed on screen after all I am only interested in having video if something significant happens.

My D40 developed a blurry line in the middle of the viewfinder after about 2 months (or maybe it just took me 2 months to notice it). It doesn't affect the photos, just the viewfinder, but it is a little annoying at times. I'm guessing it's a warp or something like that in the focusing screen. Since I take most of my photos in the Summer and Fall, I don't want to part with it for another couple of months, but after that I plan on sending it in to Nikon to have them check it out while it's still under warranty. It really hasn't been a big deal, and the camera is great in spite of it, but I would like to make sure it's not going to get worse.

I had this problem. The night vision started to fade and not function properly and I called Motorola and they replaced the unit. It's happening again with our new camera and I am not happy about it. Motorola should replace the unit for you though if this is happening. I am calling them this week to either get a new camera or demand a refund so I can buy a different product.

Allan, I have never heard of a problem like that, I have used a number of these cameras, and have never had that problem. I would send it back. Do you have a 3d photo club where you live? Here in Utah there is an amazing group and I know in most states there is also, there are a number of people who have worked in the 3d industry for many years that may also be able to help you more if you contact one of these groups. They are online. Good luck Sandra

Might be defective. My first order was defective and it took a while to find out because I thought it was my camera too (Sony NEX). I returned it and got another working unit.

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

I have not had this problem, but due to the camera's cost, I would be hesitant in any attempt to fix it yourself. I would recommend that you take it to a camera store that sells Leica cameras and explain the problem. It may be something simple that they can repair immediately. If they can't, they can advise you on the next step, either allowing them to work on it or sending it to Leica for repairs. In my opinion, this camera is outstanding and worth the cost of having it repaired.
