I just wanted to say that Doritos customer services is an absolute disgrace - i won a camera on this a couple of months ago, finally received it middle of june, took it on my holiday to south africa and it drains the batteries (high powered good quality rechargeable ones) after approx 4 photos, emailed them on 16th June - no reply, rang them on 21st June, they did not return my call, rang them again on 28th June still no reply - rang them again today - still waiting for it to be sorted!

Please don't take this the wrong way, but have you tried different batteries? and non-rechargable ones? Rechargable batteries aren't always suitable for cameras.

Lithium / Lithium-ion batteries are usually recommended for digital cameras, rather than standard Nickel-Cadmium or Alkaline batteries:

Love Doritos but Michelle Mcmanus used to have a 12/night habit :eek: http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/tv/general/Michelle+McManus-5962.html :eek:

Also agree with Jayhab about the camera - digital cameras are notoriously power hungry. Unless its clearly faulty it's not up to Doritos to do anything. Try contacting the manufacturer for advice.

Have you actually tried Lithium / Lithium-ion batteries though?

One of the guides I linked to specifically mentions that standard batteries can be drained just by switching on and switching off the camera several times - let alone actually taking photos!

As DawnChorus says, If it really is faulty, I'd contact Fuji customer services - Doritos won't want to know and Play customer services aren't really worth bothering with either IMHO!

It was me! The Coby arrived - I didn't realise that it was cheaper , but I read reviews on both of them and it seemed ok. Did they ever get back to you?

Nope, emailed 3 times now and haven't had either a reply or the prize. Been over 3 weeks now I believe!

^Same problem.

I looked back through the thread and there have been similar problems, I think it's just a case of waiting until they've fixed it.
