I dropped my camera(Sony DSC N2) from 4 feet above it was in the camera carrying case. It seems to be working fine. but will this drop cause any long term damage? should I change it?
If it is working fine, then it probably continue that way.
Having said that, yo might want to take a few pictures of somrthing with straight lines ( a brick wall for example) at different distances. Then look closely at them on the computer to see if they are in focus. If you have any earlier pictures (ones taken before the fall) you might want to compare teh pictures for sharpness.
If everything checks out OK, then you can relax.

It seems bad. Usually problem with PCB. Ask your daughter if there was possibility to get even drop of water (rain, drink...) inside - in that case you should let the camera dry, but your chance is not big. I´d like I was wrong...
Well some people believe that if u put ur wet camara without the battery the on (uncooked) rice for 24 hours all the water left in it will leave the camara for good.

The camera body has a tiny switch marked "CF" in one position and Sony's "memory stick" symbol in the other.
Apparently I accidentally reset the switch from "memory stick" to "CF" while slipping the camera body into (or out of) its carrying-case.
Once I had set this switch from "CF" back to the "memory stick" position, everything worked fine.
Solution: read the user's manual more carefully next time!!
I also dropped this camera from waist high and the lens was stuck out and would not retract or let me do anything. I ended up having it sent to Sony to replace the lens and it cost me $200. I paid $300 for the camera to begin with but to me this was the BEST camera I'd ever had and was worth it. Before repairing it, I bought a new Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 since the original one I had dropped was no longer available. I was NOT pleased with the quality of the new camera at all and it was supposed to be better than the one I dropped. That's when I decided it was worth repairing the broken one and worth the cost.
