Just bought this camera today. Not used it yet as I'm at work but it feels light and looks good. (will post a better review soon)

it also fits nicely in the case I got from ebay for £5.99

I bought this one at argos.
I got the £10 voucher and used it to to buy a toy for my son.

Inspect your camera for faults. Mine has a dead pixel in lcd screen
so I went back to Argos and had it replaced

Also ensure to install the latest firmware (v1.02)

I bought the camera case at tesco direct @£4.99

Sorry but I am not allowed to post links as I am new user

Where did you get the updated firmware from?

Or is it on the cd that came with the camera? I haven't looked at that yet

EDIT:

Cheers, I've found it

Just a bit of a supporting post for anyone questioning to purchase or not, I have a few models down, 7.1mp and 10x optical and it allowed me to take a photo from the top of the empire state building of a traffic cone on the ground next to a jcb. They're easy to use and still use mine today. fantastic quality! go buy it!
