Is the SD-card empty? Otherwise I'd vote for a mechanical defect. That's annoying, I agree.
The good news: if you're living in the northern hemisphere you have weeks to solve the problem ...
The SD card was brand new from the packaging. It got formatted by the card since when I pulled it out and put it in the PC, it had the proper directories. Still no way to take pics though.
I'm going sailing this weekend so I would have loved to have had it. In Florida, you can sail year round :P
