Query: exactly 1 year later - non functioning camera

Up until yesterday this camera has been decent. I found this on clearance on Aug 13 last year at a great price. Since the last Panasonic Lumix I had died just after the year warranty, i figured i didn't want to spend $400 for another digital camera since we still love our SLR film camera. We opted for this one. Maybe i am just cursed, but just after one year on this one and poof- no more pictures. The LCD is black except for the on screen display, and I can view pictures in memory. It seems like everything still works, except there is no picture. I don't expect to keep spending decent money on digital camera only to have them break DAYS after the warranty expires. They should not be disposable!
