Camera was working fine. I turned it on, the view finder moved out, but the red light kept flashing....the view finder motor stopped, after a few seconds it groaned for a couple seconds, stopped, then groaned. After a few more seconds, the display showed "SYSTEM ERROR". It's not the batteries, as I had just inserted newly charged (new) batteries. HELP!!!! I love my little camera (although I wouldn't mind more zoom), so I hope it's not toast. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me. Pat
Remove 6 phillipscews open camera.There is a little drivemotor for the lens,next to it is a shaft activating the limit switch for lens opening and closing.Carefully spray plastic safe electronic cleaner into the opening.Now apply 3 volt to the motor reversing polarity a few times to activate the limits. Now use canned air to blow out any residue of the cleaner.This worked for me,camera working again.

What size of Memory Card you are using? As far as I know E323 supports only upto 512 MB SD Card. If you are using higher capacity than that, this may be the problem. Try with a low capacity card.

Same deal: new batteries, just stopped working,"SYSTEM ERROR".
Will only turn on when in menu mode, red light flashes and will not power off. Had to take out batteries to turn it off.
Thanks Liftboy for # 3. Have tried that and made motor work to its limits again. However, when re-assembled lens came out, jammed again and still shows "system error". What do you suggest next ?
