Answer 1

The camera still might have been partially on, so when you were changing the batteries, an energy transfer was still in progress. It could have caused a processer to fry putting other actions that the camera is trying to do in jeopardy, much like a train reaction. It could have damaged the memory card if a memory card was installed. The best thing is to buy a new camera along with a mamory card. A CoolPix is not worthy of repairs, so it would just be easier to buy a new one. I suggest a Kodak or a Canon, they are easy to use and have the best quality, plus you can change the quality in most of these cameras wich is very usefull as a multifunction camera, small photos for ebay, large photos for events, etc..Good luck with your future camera.

Answer 2

buy a new one

Answer 3

It might be the type of batteries you are using. I know some cameras that use the AA's can't take lithium AA's. Just try using regular alkaline. If THAT doesn't work, you might have a bigger problem, their could be dust inside the camera or sand or something. It's hard to tell with out getting it professionally looked at (like a real camera shop, not a big chain) You might think about calling Nikon and asking them for advice. Chances are that they have heard of this problem before.
