Well - it had better be fixed . I ignored it last time thinking it was a user error and it progressed after a few good shots to a screen full of Multicoloured vertical lines , and this I took to be sensor problems.

When the camera was returned to me last week I was told that the lens had been calibrated and checked .

This was the first time I had really used it since the return - I took about 7 shots - and reviewing at the time , they were OK , I downloaded them and they were OK but when I went to review today - well you can see what I got.

This is what I had on the screen - there were 3 shots affected like this

but of course - whisky is Scottish

The other spelling comes from over the water - umm Ireland I mean

For goodness sake George - give it a rest !!

Umm Tony - I'm on my own Not a good idea to have too much .

I might have another one later tonight as well - we'll see .

I'll either be drowning my sorrows after Gartmore has slated my competition entry , or celebrating 'cos he laughed at it . The entry was intended as a fun one

Well - it will be a glass of Merlot again tonight - with my blue cheese and walnut salad

Beer can wait for another night

Or again - perhaps I'll get some steak out of the freezer tomorrow and have some Kriek with it

They don't have any more of them - mine was the last one

The sad thing is that it's not every shot that's affected [ the same as in the previous episode]

Last time I thought it was my 'operator' error so cussed at myself and just deleted the offending pics - and continued to use it till I got the vertical multicoloured line screen - and that's when I decided it had to go back as there was obviously a problem that wasn't me .

What this is I do not know - and if it's the kind of problem that's not always present , then it's far more difficult to identify and deal with . I just hope that it's something that can be dealt with easily - but I will always have this question mark over it now.

I've already had an e-mail back from SRS [ Chris is off today ] saying that they will discuss it with him tomorrow and see if it's possible to lend me a camera for my Trip to France at the beginning of June . It's a great offer - but I won't need it as I'll be taking the K-x , I just enjoy having the Optio for the time when I don't want to have to use the K-x eg shooting through a coach window when I spot something interesting

John - this card was formatted in the P70 when I got it - it was split new then and had never been used.

I have phoned SRS and told them and arranged to e-mail the pics - as they are on playback / review and as I downloaded them yesterday so they can see the problem clearly.

I can't help feeling that 2 episodes of this in its short life [ bought in February ! ] should not happen.

My P70 is playing up again

This time pics from a series I took yesterday and downloaded last night, though they weren't deleted from the camera are , now on playback covered in white horizontal lines

Have managed to take a shot of those using the K-x and the P70 will be going back down to SRS tomorrow

It only came back to me on the 12th

GRRRRH

Now to download the piccies from the K-x

Tsk tsk - someone seems to have forgotten how to sit on a chair
