First one dead on arrival,second great

I purchased this at Staples on clearance.I brought it home and it froze up does not turn off.Had to remove batteries before it would shut off.Tried it again and got a message file error.Wish I could have tried it out to really get a better perspective.Will be returning it and may try another one.If so will update.
I got the second one and love it.The only drawback is that video recordings on it will only play back on quick time player the other players I have tried do not accept that format.The camera takes great pictures and has many great features.The battery life is short lived that is why I invested in rechargeable batteries.The camera is very easy to use.The only other slight drawback is that when taking multiple pictures there is a delay on the camera.Action shots are out.
