Did good while it lasted

The Fuji Finepix A303 was a good beginner camera with easy to use controls and simple point and shot. I got it as my first ever camera to start out with, it was good while it lasted, but since I have had it for about 3 years it up and died on me. Well kind of, first the lens wouldn't work as well then the lens cover would get stuck. After about 3 months of it doing that, it finally just totally died for no big reason. It will never turn on again. It did give me good photo's for it's time though, at the time I got it a 3.2 mega pixel was one of the higher mega pixel cameras. I was just starting to look for a new one when this one died, I guess nothing lasts forever though. I was hoping it would have lasted at least 5 years though.
