If you were having any kind of bet on when my camera would break this year, it's happened. This time it wasn't me that did it. It broke by itself during the night. Last night, it was taking longer than normal to charge so I left it plugged in overnight. I was in bed a few minutes ago and became aware of a repeated grinding noise coming from this side of the room. I could only hear it when the air conditioner wasn't running. It was my camera repeatedly trying to extend its lens and being unable to because it was lying lens-down. Now it can only take pictures when it has mains power. It's possible that it has just flattened its battery through its night of exertion and is otherwise fine. Alternatively, it might be fundamentally broken. My solution at the moment is to switch to my spare camera.
