Peter, the reason I haven't mentioned it is because it fairly obscure. I posted earlier mentioning the name of it and to comment on it. I didn't get any replies. I figured everyone thought it was a piece of junk. It's a TEKXON 5500Z. It has a Panasonic CCD with 5.5 megapixels interpolating. It took good pictures before this happened. I was very pleased. Everything seems to work just fine. It lists for over $600.....I got this one on an auction for $149....brand new. It has both a microphone AND a speaker for recording messages for the pics.....or for video sound. It also will allow you to take video for as long as you have memory.....no limit. Someone said they actually filmed for over 2 hours with a 512MB card. The video replay is actually pretty decent too. It has continuous shooting, white balance, sharpness settings, metering, night settings.....it's a feature loaded camera for the money. It even has 3X optical zoom....not just digital like most cameras for this amount of money. I admit I was drawn in by the cost, but I can't afford an expensive camera and this seemed like a good compromise. I just hope I haven't permanently damaged the internal memory.

Also, I sent an email to the support address on the Tekxon website, but have yet to hear from the company. The user manual is fairly comprehensive, but has no troubleshooting section.
