I went to take a picture with my "toy camera" the other day and when I turned it on, instead of seeing a view of what the camera saw, I saw this. The viewing screen was all magenta and blue stripes of noise. Uh Oh. I tried some troubleshooting and I reinitialized it. The next day I thought it was fixed, and brought it to an event, and when I went to take a photo, it went bonkers again. The troubling thing is that it was only two years old. A premature death. It is a SONY RX 100, so I called them and they sent me to a camera repair facility in Connecticut. I logged in to their website and was shocked to find out that the cost of the repair was a fixed $305 and that the repair might take three months! Because I use this camera nearly every day, repair was out of the question. So after a couple of days, I ordered a newer version of the camera. It does make me sad, however, because this camera has been with me every day of the last two years. I have done so many blog photographs with it. The new one arrived today, and now I can finally leave the house, because my new traveling companion is with me!

Sorry to hear about your "toy" camera :-( I can't believe they won't replace/fix a 2 year old camera. bsk
They don't make things the way they used to. Incredible that it only lasted 2 years. Hope you enjoy better results with your new toy.
