Great at first

The first year the camera was great for the money—easy to use, decent quality for family shots—then problems began. The camera started shuting off at will which was very irritating. Now I'm afraid it's about to bite the dust completely. The LCD is black when I turn it on until I hold it up to a bright light. Lines flicker accross the screen and then the picture appears. It'll work fine until the next use. While waiting for a response from Fuji and reading the newest reviews I'm afraid this good little camera just wasn't meant to last. I'm very dissapointed in Fuji and won't buy another.
