hey, this is exactly what happened to me with my z1, so i sent it in, paid for it to be fixed, used it for another couple of months, realized i wanted to upgrade...bought a rebel. spent my life savings, too.
if you save the 200 you'd spend to send it in to be fixed, in a few months you might be able to either buy a dslr and live w/ the kit lens, or buy a better p&s. i really despise my old z1. it was so so so so slow. and after a year of heavy use, the auto focus barely worked (and their manual focus is so lame).
no suggestions, except my opinion that you shouldn't bother spending the money to fix it :(
