i just bought the nikon s210 and have started taking pictures. it's making a whining stracing sound everytime i move it? what's wrong?

i just bought the camera this morning, fully charged the battery and have started taking pics. everytime i move the camera it starts making a straching & whining sound. is this normal because it's a cheap camera? i dont' think this is normal...digital cameras shouldn't make noise.

Assuming that your camera is taking well focused pictures, I suspect the noise is the focus motor. With auto focus as you move the camera around it constantly adjusts light exposure and focus causing a (usually) faint whirring and buzzy noise that may be quite irregular. If the noise is really loud and/or the pictures are not turning out right, then it needs to be returned for exchange.
