Buy a camera and after 40 stopped working. Is this something common in this model?

as it stands when we returned it Nikon was denying that there was any problem but there is a lot of chatter all over the web with the same problem. we used it for 3 days pretty intensive (about 400 pictures) and then were only able to get one picture each day for two before we gave up on it. Since they denied there was a problem... they also had no fix.... we won't buy another Nikon in the near future

Our camera is still working beautifully; I have not heard whether others have had issues. Good luck!

Most probably yes, you are not using the camera correctly, I advice you to read the manual again. I have this camera for 6 months now, and it works perfectly! Good luck with that. Also take into account the light, because it might be that you are using the flash when you don't need it =)

I'm sorry to hear about your horrible experience, but it sounds like it was a very remote occurrence. I, like the several other people whose comments I see here, have had no trouble with my Lumix. I would follow Janet's advice; return the camera, and let the company make it right with you. Unless they are totally unethical, they won't want to leave you unhappy with their product. These are actually nice cameras. I'm sure they'll fix this for you.

I bought several of these for our 20D's and 30D's, and never had a problem. I'd guess either you received a broken one, or perhaps you need to clean your connectors in the camera?

Same problem here, I think Sony should send out new camera's I have only had mine for a couple months.I lost my son's wedding pictures.

Ours stopped working as well. We tried contacting Kodak to fix it but navigating their customer service process requires the patience of a saint. No wonder Kodak is going bankrupt! We bought a more expensive brand thinking it would be higher quality, but I guess we were wrong.

Not sure what is the problem you are having. I didn't have any problem with mine. It's great camera.

It's definitely a great camera and I too would replace it with the same. (I'm actually on my 3rd one - the last two purchased very used)Does anyone have a suggestions for the natural progression to the line?

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!

My experience: return/sell the camera and buy anything else. Sorry I couldn't help more - but the camera is very poor quality.

I agree with JR, check/swap your wiring/power supply. If it still doesn't work send it back. Quality control on this camera is not good, Ordered 2, one was bad right out of the box.

If you have not purchased this camera yet I would advise not to do this. It has been servicing for 1 week. As other customer wrote, after batteries discharged and were replaced with new ones the camera didn't switch on and doesn't react on any action. My request to the shop remained unanswered.Regards

I ended up returning mine to Nikon to be fixed under warranty. They gave me a credit to either replace it or get a different camera.

I heard many complaints about this issue before I bought the camera. But I took the risk. So far no issues. But yes many websites show some steps to fix this problem. I would first use the warranty and then go for those options..

Hi, I've had this canon for 2,5 years and took thousands of pictures and all the functions work.When did you buy it- do you have the option to return it?

I bought this camera on 7/15/08 and then on 8/2/09 (right after the warranty expired), my screen went black the same way. It was working just fine and then it was not working at all. I never banged it or dropped it. Up until now, I loved this camera! Now, I am very disappointed.By the way, I paid $169.99 plus tax, not the crazy $429.99 price.
