Well, so much for my camera until I can afford to take it in to a Nikon repair shop. Darn thing is just over a year old and very well cared for, I could just cry! Based on what I've read on the net, the lens sensor seems to go out on the L120's on a fairly consistent bases. If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this besides taking out the batteries and waiting for a while before putting them back in or checking for debris around the lens itself, I'd love to know! In the mean time, I'll be off pouting as the camera was a birthday gift last year.
