Below-average performance with an eventual crash

I owned the DSC-W330 for about 10 months, and the pictures it took were "adequate". It struggled with any form of moving shot, requiring absolute stillness to take a shot in focus, and even then it looked pretty mediocre when you zoomed in on any part of the image; every picture has a slightly "fuzzy" quality when you zoom in. Macro shots are pretty terrible, focusing on one plane in front of the camera (and thus throwing everything else out of focus). At a macro level, the camera may focus on a plane 2 inches in front of the screen, and everything projecting forward or back from that plane is going to be out of focus. The automatic selection of what mode to shoot in was also a bit annoying at times, and I'd rather have that control to myself. Finally, most damning of all, my DSC-W330 began having technical problems about a week ago; the lens would extend, then retract, then extend again when I turned it on, and then I could use the camera. Today, however, the lens extended and retracted four times before a message saying "Please turn the camera off and on again" came up. Doing this did not fix the problem, and after a bit of searching I'm discovering it's a fairly common problem for this camera to just flat-out die on you. I bought this as a replacement for my previous Sony Cybershot W50 dying, and it looks like I'll be going with either a Panasonic or a Canon shortly. I'm not going to bother with asking for a refund or repair because it will most likely cost more than half the cost of the thing to fix, which is not worth it to me; I'd rather have a good camera.
