That model 5700 had inherent problem. The CCD pops off after 4000 images. Same thing happened with three of us who purchased it together. I purchased it for Rs 45000 some 7years back and have spent 2-3000 on repairs. Battery doesn't last long. I won't dare to buy that again....rather can get any decent new one for 25000 On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 6:42 PM, Ushadi micromini <[email protected]>wrote:
