Awesome, wouldn't you agree?
Well, expect that to be the last picture I'll take for a long while. Tragedy struck my personal camera (a Kodak Z612) on Saturday when I was running down a hallway and dropped my camera from a good 4 feet.
When it first happened, I thought "thank God for burber carpet", but it turns out that it didn't matter. My beautiful and well kept Kodak is now nothing but Rubbish.
After the incident had taken place, the camera remained with the power in the on position, but the screen was entirely black (which worried me, to say the least). I then proceeded to turn the camera off, hoping that the screen would reappear, but that failed. Once off the camera refused to properly power-up - turning the power on and then off it a matter of seconds. Furthermore, the retractable and mechanical lens ceased to operate.
After some fiddling around I eventually got the lens to come out (which it now does 50% of the time), thus allowing the power to stay on. HOWEVER, the camera refuses to focus; you'd get the impression it's had 10 pitchers of beer. What's really strange is that the camera starts to focus when you zoom out, but the problem is that the lens won't go past half way point on the zoom and immediately turns the camera off.
I went to Kodak's website looking for solutions and repair options and it states a number of the problems which I've been encountering are as a result of dropping the camera.
The estimated chargers (excluding shipping, etc) is anywhere from $50 to $200. I'm screwed, I haven't got that kind of money sitting around and imagine I won't for a long while.
