I really felt depressed when my Sony Dscv10 I've had for the past 6+yrs finally started showing signs of dying out. Flickering lcd screen lens retracting becoming erratic and/or sticking. I may dissect it and see what makes it tick.
So I went out and got a Fuji Finepix J10. It was cheap enough and it still had a metal body I prefer compared to the crappy plastic bodies most of the others I've seen had. So far I'm happy with it.
