My Coolpix L.22 battery door latch is broken-I find this is a common problems from other owners I've talked to. Does L620 have same problem?

My L24 lasted five years, now the latch is broken. Still only cost me $100, so I will throw it away.

I have been worried that mine would break because of how flimsy it is but it had not YET! I honestly don't know how much faith I have in it though!

No problems with ours, have been using it for a couple of months now. Latch is tricky, and easily broken.

I have not had a problem so far with the battery compartment door. It is a great possibility though the way it is constructed., you have to force the batteries down with the door as you push the latch over. I have not had my L620 very long, but no problems yet. I am not sure why Nikon built a camera like the l620, all other Nikons I have seen have a latch to hold the battery or batteries in the battery compartment.

I've had this camera since December 2013, and have experienced no problems with the battery door.

My camera is new so I have not repaced the batteries yet but I find the door latch awkward and difficult to use. I'm hoping that I don't have problems and will be very careful when replacing batteries. Sorry if this is not very helpful.

Very much so. A few things to consider: I noticed the camera not responding to anything when the battery dies inside of it (with another fresh battery in body) which is resolved by replacing the dead battery; the knob to secure to camera gets too tight and hard to remove. I fixed this by adding a very thin foam padding that acted as a soft cushion to allow for easy turning. The fit, finish and performance are excellent for the price.

Don't know what you are asking, as MY problem camera is a DSC-W830. So I have no idea what correlation it has with a DSC-WX350 unit for materials, size, configuration etc.... I WANT TO RETURN (the DCS-W830) FOR A FULL REFUND, since Sony has given me loop feedback of no response or solution!!!! Please advise!! Battery door latch doesn't keep door closed, which makes the camera non-functional for image processing! Just returned from a week out of town. R. Givens

When mine did this, I went to Wal Mart and bought a new battery. My camera worked just fine after that. I quess my old battery was just worn out...I hope this helps you...

Hello Craig. Not sure I have any suggestions for you on this. I have had mine installed for almost a year now and have never had a problem. Maybe you got a lemon and hopefully you can return it for a replacement? It would be worth trying in my opinion because it's the best camera I have used thus far! I have 2 other cheaper Swan models installed on my system and plan to swap them out for this model as soon as I get the $$ to do it. This one beats the other Swan cameras I have 10 fold on overall picture and especially on night vision distance/clarity! Good luck Buddy

I have not had any trouble with the battery compartment door on my unit. It is certainly possible there is a defect but most of the time I find the I have the wires from the battery connector out of their correct position or possibly something small got into the compartment that does not belong in there. Not trying to be patronizing just trying to help, I hope you find the problem, Happy Holidays!

I have not had this problem. I left my batteries for my camera for many hours, even days, without any trouble. Recommend that you contact the manufacturer and I'm certain that they will send you new batteries.

I am having problems with my S6500 also, but my problem is the camera somehow is depleting the battery when it is not even on. I purchased the Square Trade repair replacement policy for it through Amazon and they have had it twice within the past month and it still is not working right. I will give them one more try to repair and if it still does not work properly, I will requests a replacement or refund per the contract. I ended up having to purchase another camera to take on a vacation just to make sure I had one.

I'm having the same issue. The camera has never worked. It freezes as soon as I take one picture. I just bought it in July, so I'm sending it to an authorized repair shop (as per Kodak), to see if they can help. It does reset if I pop out the battery, but it takes one photo, and then locks up again.

I have not had that problem. I would suspect that the battery is not good. If you have not had the camera very long, check and see if you can send the camera and battery back. Or maybe check with some place in your community that tests batteries to see if the battery is the problem. I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but I have done this before. Are you sure you are inserting the battery the correct way?

I discovered the battery compartment must CLICK closed. If it's even 1/32" open you will get the "Change the Batteries" message. I just returned from a cruise and purchased 2 sets of batteries in 4 days thinking the camera was draining them rapidly. I'd get about 20 pics before a low battery message appeared. Upon returning home, I found the batteries were still fully charged and noticed I had not been closing the door 100%.

Did not have a problem with the battery door. Maybe you might want to try a different brand of battery and see if that makes a difference.

I am having exactly the same problem, taking the battery out for 30 minutes works for a time but the problem starts again after a few days. Leaving the battery out until required sometimes makes the camera difficult to switch on or off. I don't think that Creative are interested. If anyone has the answer please let us know.

The fix is real easy. No need to take the camera apart. Order the Shutter Button Release Assembly from Sony. Cost was around $18.00 + tax + Shipping. I received the new assembly in one week. Note the angle of the old assembly before removing it so that you can line up the new one correctly. To remove the old button assembly, use a rubber bottle opener to get a good grip. Turn slightly counter clockwise. Then use your fingernail to lift it up. Look inside using a magnifing (sp) glass and find the pieces that broke off, a spring, a small plastic tip and a small snap ring. Look at the opening and you'll notice two slots, that's where the two little feet will line up. Again using the rubber bottle opener and pressing down slightly, turn the new assembly clockwise. You'll feel it. Make sure to clean out the pieces that broke off. I couldn't find the spring, now I can't use that little wheel to bring the viewfinder into focus for my eye. LCD is still sharp as are the pictures. Just the viewfinder. Good luck. June Sat, 18 Aug 2007 18:50:55 +0000 Whoops: x21083252 Sony Direct Accessories

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

It does have a one year factory warranty but when you try to use it, the repair service will try to say you dropped the camera and its your fault. The battery door latch broke "two times" on me and if you go online you can find work arounds for a broken latch. Do not buy this brand of camera.
