Question
I have a Sony cybershot 7.2 megapixel digital camera, i just recieved it this christmas, and worked fine until recently. Whenever i turn it on, and take the picture, it flashes then turns off. sometimes i cant even take a picture. it just turns off. what is wrong with my camera? is there any hope to fix it or do i have to buy a new one?

Answer
Jess,

 There is no way to really tell what is wrong with your camera without sending it in to Sony.  If you've only had it since Christmas, then it is still under warranty and Sony should fix it for you, or replace it if it can't be fixed.

Expertise

I can answer questions about point and shoots and 35mm SLR`s from the 1960s to present. I can also handle most questions on digital cameras from "camera" makers, like Nikon, Olympus, Canon, Sony, etc. Though usually I`m not too familiar with the driver interface, as 3rd party devices for download are more efficient. Sorry, but I can no longer answer questions about the value of old cameras.

Experience

I'm an "expert" under photography. I've many years experience in photo retail.John and Chris
