80000 snaps I have seen many times on forums that a certain has 50000 snaps and is still going strong, or that another camera has not yet reached 80000 snaps. what does this mean? does a digital camera die after a certain number of shots? is there a maintenance period?

I would think it implies the camera / flash / whatever is still functioning after that many operations (pictures)... of course everything wears out eventually, film, digital cameras and flash too. In this year I may hit 15,000 pictures with my FZ10... I expect the mechanical (zoom, doors, buttons & switches) will last several years. My vivitar 283 flash units may hit 2,000 flashes this year.

When does the cam belt need changing
Manufacturers usually recommend cam belts be replaced between 50000 and 60000 miles (80000 to 100000 kilometers) but the safest bet is to go according to the manufacturers service guide.

How many miles before you change the timing chain?
If it has a timing chain, which is unlikely, if does not need to be changed until an engine overhaul, but the car most likely has a timing belt which should be changed at about 50000 to 80000 miles.

It will have a belt. Chains virtually never need attention, it is the belt that needs to be replaced every 50000 to 80000 miles.

We have this camera and it will turn on & zoom. The camera will not snap the picture. What could the problem be? We have changed the batteries without sucess The camera has hardly been used. Larry
The problem could be that you're not fully pressing the shutter button. Many people squeeze the button until something happens... that's the half press that causes the autofocus to operate etc. Because something happened, they don't continue to press hard enough to actually take the snap.

Of course it's also possible that the plunger on the shutter button is too short and isn't reaching the switch properly, but I've only seen that on a kids cheap camera where it was squeezed too hard with impatience because cheap cameras operate slowly.

Oh, and one more thing: are you squeezing the button for long enough? I don't know how slow this particular model is.

Lens won't retract and when I try to turn the camera on, there is a clicking noise and then it says lens error, please restart camera. I assume something is jamming it, what do I do? My camera is a...
You are spot on. You've just diagnosed your own problem. Now, what to do about it? Number one, DO NOT do as some "person" on certain forums suggests Bash it on a hard surface.

Either you or someone else has given the lens a knock whilst it's been extended (it doesn't take much) and this has put the alighnment of the lens barrel out of whack. There are small pins in the body of the camera which match up with grooves in the actual lens elements which guide the lens in and out depending on where it wants to go. Just one broken pin or a pin not lining up will cause the camera lens to lock up and cause the noise you explain.

Next there could be a foreign body, usually grit or sand lodged between the lens elements or the lens and the camera body. I have seen this fixed by a gentle manipulation of the lens and a blast of compressed air but it was a bit of a fluke. Even gentle manipulation of the lens assembly can cause the pin to drop back into it's guide but again it's a fluke to get exactly the right pressure at the right angle. I'm only letting you know this if you intend to scrap the camera instead of getting it repaired. This type of repair can be expensive as the complete camera has to be pulled down to reach the lens. So if you think it's not worth repairing try the above but if you intend to have it repaired then simply take it to the repairshop or authorised agent. It's certainly not a repair for beginners.

My lens won't retract or open and beeps 3 times and shuts off
I had a Polaroid i531 that would beep 3 times then shut down & the lens wouldn't retract.

I fixed it like this:
  1. Inspect the lens from all angles and you'll see that the lens assembly is out of sync. (My was looking upward ever so slightly)
  2. Using gentle finger pressure, press in the opposite direction of the abnormal lens direction
  3. I heard a snap, then I powered the camera on.
  4. Camera now works.
