Yea, a friend a week or 2 ago said they went bust, but its not surprising as my 4mp i think ls743 took better pictures than the 12mp I replaced it with. also had a 5mp bridge camera, which just felt like quality, and thought I was upgrading to their newest version had the same cheap plastic as the 99p calculator sat in front of me.

Yay!! More fodder for the patent wars.

Please,can the US government step in and stop these companies,I doubt they can though!!
