I opened the case, cleaned some sand off the lens, and it's been back in business for 2 months already. Here in Playa, the elements are extremely damaging to sensitive camera lenses.

Besides, if you were just going to junk the camera anyway, it doesn't hurt to have someone open it and see if it can be repaired without costing an arm and a leg.

Thanks for the info John. Unfortunately I can't find the freakin' thing it has dissapeared..... not meant to be I guess.
