This was posted on another forum so i checked mine, check yours.

Yes nothing works the cameras will not turn on, the lenses will not focus, cant get batteries in my flash guns.
Its a bit of a mystery as its spreading world wide, some say its the joint fault of Nikon,Canon and Fuji for
launching new cameras.

It gets worse: as soon as Panasonic releases its FF your camera will virtually explode
Take cover!

@panamike I hear you. It's called gear-sulk. Take your cameras out for some serious shooting, it'll instantly revive them.

P.S. The only camera that has a sulk function built-in that it can activate on a whim is the Sony A7 II. cameras are a lot more resilient.

You're not flogging them hard enough.

It worked with mine, if I upgrade to Kodak Portra 400 I'm sure it will work even better!

Spot on ... though it's Acros 100 for me today ... Now, where are those boots ...

it might be the new xPhone that is spreading some camera incapacitating virus. a couple of aspirin in a hot bath should help (remember that the camera has to be fully submerged).

Better to upgrade to a TG5 then...

When I was a musician we referred to it as GAS: Gear Acquisition Syndrome.

If you mention to your wife you have a really bad case of GAS, she'll likely tell you to leave the house and take care of it.

Problem solved.
