These cameras start out life ok- good, actually- But then the dark side comes out, and that is the horrible lens drive system. The gears go bad, and repair is only temporary, even by Kodak. I repair these products for a major service company, and the design is just plain bad. Don't think you can get a cheap one on ebay, either, to fix yours- They all have the same problems. Toss it and buy something else.
