My camera freezes the same way a computer does. The picture on the screen is frozen, the lens is blocked. out of course. And the camera can not be turned off.
This only happens, when the battery gets low. Replacing the battery and resetting the thing fixes the problem.
Thing is I don't carry a spare batt. all the time.
I am moving to Switzerland in two days, so I did not contacted customer support.

If you are thinking about a DSLR but are not sure you will use it enough to justify the money, or take the time to master all the settings required, stop shopping and buy this camera. Besides that you can put it in your pocket and have it ready at a moments notice.

It takes amazing pictures. There is so much more depth, crispness, and color to our pictures compared to our two year old Canon that was $400 new. Also, it is simple. Every pic we have taken is on the Intelligent Auto mode just point and shoot. I don't understand the lens but the range is amazing. You will have fun with this camera.

I do find myself taking more pictures because they are turning out so great. Also, several people have complained about the battery, we had no trouble on a recent trip to Disney. We did not shoot any video though.
