Default Need advice DIY digital camera repair

An additional note. He does gripe about a few problems with the camera
but he does say it's"VERY PLEASANT " to work on. While I haven't

worked
on this particular camera, I find Fujis in general are very nice to
work on. The other gripe I would have is the delicate nature of the
followers on the retrofocus converters in the point and shoot lenses.
So Fujis are nice to work on as are Nikons and Sonys. Not so nice are
Canons (tho' they make excellent cameras) and especially bad are
Kodaks. You'd wind up having to desolder some connections to get into
many of their models.

Thanks for answering, Richard (and I'm glad I didn't have to call you
"kv888831393ster").

Glancing at the page quickly, I got the mistaken idea he was being
hugely sarcastic with "VERY PLEASANT." I'm glad my Fuji is one of the
good ones.

Now what is it with the Kodak's, like the EasyShare? My neighbor has a
Z650, and its features make mine look puny. Early on, I dismissed the
Kodak's, figuring they'd be loaded with proprietary features. Now I'm
not so sure.
