Dead Camera

Welp, the camera I bought a couple days before coming to Berlin has died. Then I did some research online... apparently this model camera only works about a month before dying. Don't buy a Casio Exilim EX-V7!! It took about 1000 great photos and now it's absolutely dead. Apparently my only recourse is to mail it, with my now-long-gone proof of purchase, to their repair facility in New Jersey. Or, now I just don't have a camera and will be looking for really cheap ones at Media Markt now. I'm just not doing too well with technology lately.
