Goodbye my tr… oh, wait, hello again.
Electronic items know how to piss me off, yet make me happy at the same time. Immediately after I’d posted that “oh no, my camera died” post, I plugged the batteries back in, and it “worked”. In fact, I took this photo of me looking pretty non-plussed using it
The lens no longer jams, and remarkably, the camera is, at this moment in time, working. However, when the lens extends, there’s a definite noise difference, so the problem isn’t “fixed”, it’s simply “working now”, and I’ll still expect a complete failure of the lens mechanism in the very near future.

My lens is also broke but you knew the Auto focus stopped working long ago, I think it gave up in September 2009 but thankfully it can be knocked in to Manual.

Hmm! My old camera gives me a lens error message too! Hang on… since you appear to have the magic touch, if I send you my camera in the post, will you charge it up and stare at it glumly, as you did with your own camera, thereby making it work again?

Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee a fast turnaround, and in the likely occurence that the camera may be returned to you in more than one piece, there may be a charge for any extra postage. Editors decision is final. Contains a source of Phenylalanine.
