Yep, my camera went and died on me!
I put the battery back in after charging, switched on, the lens started to come out and then stopped and started making wrenching noises, it stopped after a while and bought up a thing that said E18. After a few tries, I managed to get it to switch back on normally, only now the focus at depth is completely screwed-up, I can focus up to about 15cm, but after that the imaged is really fuzzy and blurred...Went into the camera shop and asked them, and they said they couldn't do anything about it and probably one of the elements had slipped out of allignment.
Friday, I rushed into Exeter and went to Jessops to get a replacement.
I don't get paid till friday next, so had to get it on store credit (which is a problem in itself for a lowly student) anyway, after lots of sitting around waiting to see if they'd approve my credit, they finally did! The store guy thought it was on account of them thinking I wouldn't be able to pay them back, anyhoo, I now have £399.99 to pay back by 2006 (Though I'll actually be paying it back over the next two months, thanks alot 'Interest Free Credit')
So now I've got my lovely new matte-black Canon Powershot S70...mmmm 7mpx... mmmmm... 28mm wideangle... doh... 32mb mem card (I'll be ebaying for a 1gb when I get paid!)
