That stinks...makes me pretty reluctant to buy Sanyo products again. I think ours started having this problem intermittently about a year ago, when it was less than 2 years old. I'd expect more from a $350 camera. Thanks for the reply!

I know this is a long shot, seeing as the post is 1 1/2 years old, but I'm having this same problem with my xacti vpc-ca6. Did you ever find a resolution?
