DSC-W150 Turn camera on and off screen - Digital Camera Forums

Every time I turn on my camera it makes a lot of noise and takes a while then tells me to turn the camera on and off. I had a Sony DSC-N1 before and only got another Sony so I could reuse my batteries I had. Sony's support told me to do a factory reset, but I'm not sure I did it right as I still get this message.

A very common problem with point and shoot cameras is that the lens gets stuck and won't come out, causing the camera to shut down. This is usually caused by something getting stuck in the mechanism (dirt, sand) or the camera being dropped. Rather than paying big bucks to Sony or taking the thing apart yourself it might be time to buy a new camera that's more rugged. Fuji makes the XP10, a good camera that's water and shock resistant and costs less than $200.
