lens error

(Bruce Graham - 11/27/06)

I avoided a canon that reviewers cited as having a "dreaded" lens error in which the extendable lens freezes and won't move or won't focus. This just happened to my Coolpix P4 while at the Macys parade, while shooting (so definitely no unusual bumps or dropping). The lens won't retract or extend and clearly is worthless until fixed. I suspect all this small extendable lens will have a high failure rate. I suspect the S10 lens is a much more reliable design. Seemed like great camera otherwise.
