Same problem 3 times!

I received the camera as a gift in October 2006 and have had nothing but problems. It wouldn't turn on and the lens would not retract a few months after I got it. I sent it in for repair, which took 6 weeks, and had to send it back in again for the SAME problem a couple months later. Fast forward 5 months and I am now sending it in AGAIN. This is the 3rd time and they may replace the camera this time. Customer service has been horrible, the time it take for my camera to be returned is unacceptable and it shouldn't have broken 3 times in the first place.

To the poster that said people with ratings of 1 or 2 stars should be more careful needs to re-evaluate that statement. I have been nothing but careful with this camera and its problems are a manufacturing problem...not mine!
