Sometimes its great with no problems though, just cannot depend on it really. I'd not get another one on this experience. My vote goes to Nikon, Olympus or Pentax. I dunno maybe I'm just really lucky

Funny, my old APS IXUS was a bad tempered beast, used to crash completely and need the battery removed for 5 minutes before it'd work. I'd forgotten about that.

Ah well, bit the bullet on the 800 anyway- looks ideal for me and it's got the full warranty since it's selling as new. £160

So I do expect a catch, to be honest. We'll see what turns up. And my brother's bought the Kodak off me
