not all it is cracked up to be

I received this camera as a gift for last Christmas and was extremely excited about it. But after less than a year I began having many difficulties. I love photography and this camera seemed like a great investment for me. I have had several photos published in local NY newspapers and several photo contests but this camera only worked to stunt my photography career.I was also disappointed when an error code appeared on my screen and was unable to fix the camera on my own. When camera was sent back to Kodak to fix they insisted I had dropped the camera and it was dented as a result of my misuse. There was not a scratch on the camera when I had sent it that's for sure. Therefore a 200 dollar fee to fix it was issued...the going price of the camera now. Might as well buy a new one. not.
