I had this camera for a little more than a year and I loved it. Near the end of one vacation, it just froze and powered down with the lens still extended. Since I still needed a camera for the rest of the trip, I just sucked it up and bought a new camera (Kodak M1033). I've tinkered with it a bit since, but the most it will do when I try to power cycle is beep, and the lens might go in/out of the body quickly. It's a shame, it was a really good camera for me.
