After taking a few photos in short sucession, the screen flashed E1600 (i think, somthing like that) and when I turned the camera off the lens wouldn't shut and the zoom part (sorry, i am not technical at all!) wouldn't turn off - and is still sticking out now. I tried to turn it on and off as is said across the screen, but it hasn't worked. Any ideas?
The lens drive has failed for any one of many reasons- nothing for you to do here except to get onto Sony customer support Be warned however - the likely cost of repair will be near the price of replacing it.

I wouldnot recommend any particular camera for the simple reason they seem to be updated/discontinued on an almost weekly basis,so that any thing I say would be based on last week reviews.
My personal view is because of this 'last weeks' specs are still valid and a quicjk look at any site that offer redundant/surplus/discontinued stock will offer perfectly good camera for very often 1/3rd and more off list price

Thanks for that despite the bad news. I have just been on the phone to them as yes you are right...it is going to cost £114.56 to repair it - so i am better off getting a new one! Just a quick question, do you recommend anything? I had been in love with this camera and so am sorry to lose it, is there a comparible upgrade? Also is it worth selling the dead one on ebay...are there people out there who would know how to fix this who would want to buy it?
