    I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of a forum...

    What did the shop say when he asked them what they would do?
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    And I suggest editing your post to remove your email address. Unless of course you really DO want loads of new SPAM emails. ;)

    It would depend on the original age of the item and why it is faulty. If the fault is inherent and the camers age is not beyond that you'd expect such a product to last you would be entitled to a refund, repair or replacement. Within the first 6 months the retailer is responsible for disproving the fault is inherent, so take it to them to look at and offer advise.
