Consensus here in the U.K. on Kodak camera's is that they are crap. The camera should be fitted with a stop sensor so that if it tries to extend and cannot, it aborts the action and sounds an audible alarm. My own Fuji camera does that. If the camera failed in that fashion in the U.K. it would be considered to be unmerchantable goods. For the simple reason that any camera designed for pocket carry will suffer an accidental switch on somewhere in its lifetime.
