My samsung digital camera wont stay on ?

Well we just got this camera to replace our ancient one which had the exact same conundrum. When i switch the on button the lens pops out the conservational set alight goes on and it makes the normal on noise but then instantly switches back off. The other thing is that when i press the play button to review pictures/videos the camera turns on fine and lets me look at them ? hope sombody can help as its my dads camera and if it needs to be taken to a repair shop i will have to pay for it for myself. If its not really more expensive than the camera haha

thanks in enhancement ! x

It sounds like it could be a battery issue.
You need to charge the batteries overnight, not just for a small while.
If you’ve rejuvenated the same batteries quite a few times, it might be time for new ones.

The price is very striking and so is the camera. The only thing that really concerns me is the lack of an optical viewfinder. There was a recent comparison in Standard Photography that included this camera.

Personally, I chose a Canon Powershot SD900 for my “pocket camera” and I have been very pleased with it, after owning it for all of two weeks. It’s in the review I mentioned.

I haven’t posted my “optical viewfinder” answer for quite a while, so you are the lucky one who gets to read it…

Large LCD viewfinders eat batteries. It seems nice to have a huge LCD monitor, but they are power hungry. You will have to do what you can to turn the thing off as soon as you don’t need it any longer. Look for “Power Save” in your menu. Set it to shut off at the shortest possible innterval after you take the picture. Set it so that it doesn’t not show unless you tap the shutter button to wake it up. Even this will not go a long way towards conserving batteries.

I lament the passing of the optical viewfinder and I would choose nearly any camera with an optical viewfinder over one that only has an LCD viewfinder. Why?

1. You never have the option of turning off the LCD and these things eat batteries for lunch and spit them out. Why do away with the option of a viewfinder that has zero electrical drain?

2. It can be trying to see the image on an LCD in bright sunlight, even if they are “new and improved.”

3. You have to hold an LCD viewer out at some distance in front of your face. This is more conspicuous than I prefer to be all the time.

4. The need to hold a camera at arms length will introduce some shake. I like the thought of stabilizing a camera against my face when I am taking a picture. This is especially vital with a longer zoom lens. No wonder “image stablization” or “vibration reduction” is necessary with these cameras. Not that there’s anything WRONG with IS or VR, but it is really a requirement with LCD viewfinders and telephoto lenses.

5. By the LCD to view photos after you’ve taken them slows down the camera quite a bit. You can’t shut of the LCD monitor and still take pictures if you don’t have an optical viewfinder.

This sony cybershot 7.2 MP will show much more detailed pictures. I really got my $ 500 high-quality Sony Cybershot camera for free just for participating in this assessment: http://urlx.org/43d43 You should give it a go. It saved me a lot of money.
