I bought a Fujifilm 4700 digital camera recently.
I travelled about 30 miles from my home in order to get a good deal, taking half a day off work.
When I tried the camera, there was a fault with the digital screen, some of the pixels were green all the time.
Back to the shop I went and got a replacement.
After about 4 days, the flash would sometimes get stuck when I tried to open it, but a gentle push helped.
The flash card also started to error on occasion.
After paying £500 this was not good enough !
Back to the shop I went and got my money back.
So after 2 cameras and one and a half days holiday I ended up with nothing.
A friend of mine bought the same camera and has had no problems.
Perhaps I just had bad luck, but check the camera carefully before purchase and save yourself a lot of effort.
