HandyCam - Not enough Memory for Jpg3???

So I've had the camera for 3 weeks now and went to take a few snapshots of my car. I snap in the handycam and proceed to take a picture - up arrow - bleep "Information Not enough Memory for Jpg3" . WTF???? So I change the resolution to 160x160 - takes pictures fine. Changed it back to 640x480 - same crap. I have more than 50% of my Prism memory available and I emptied/formated the onboard memory of the handycam itself - nogo. One strange thing it does is that after this message comes up I get the preview screen divided in 4 (unevenly divided) and if I take a snapshot @160x160 - it makes it divided!!! I'm seriously considering returning the camera due to this crap problem being - I bought it on the internet and I have to ship it back :P

Any insight would be appreciated.

I'm assuming your talking about the handcam. There is a little bit of memory internal to the camera. I don't know if pictures are stored on this memory or in your visors memory but, if you go to the details tab you can move the pictures back and forth.

Yeah - there is 2mb of flash memory on the camera itself - I have deleted all pictures stored on the flash and even formatted it. Still no luck. I contacted Targus and they escalated this to their "3rd level support" but I don't have time to waste - I got an RMA number and am returning the camera - might buy another one later on but most likely will wait for prices to drop (paid ~$90 for mine shipped)
