Panasonic PV-GS300 Mini DV Camcorder

I had this camera out of the box for about 10 seconds before it was rendered useless by the ubiquitous 'dew detected' error. I am going to attempt a return but living overseas makes it difficult (it was sent to me as a gift). After reading others accounts of this same problem I don't hold out much hope that panasonic will be of any help.

Google 'dew detected' for all you need to know about panasonic camcorders.
