s45 rattling noise?

choza said:

I recently purchased a s45 and noticed a faint rattling noise when
the camera is shaken. The shop owner found the same on the s30.

I was wondering if any other users found this problem or if it was
the norm. In either case I am not fond of the rattling noise -
camera appears to be working fine.

Yes, it rattles,
my Kodak DX3700 rattles
my Contax T3 rattles
and my exNikon 35Ti rattles (which the buyer pointed out to me)
His Contax T2 rattled too...
they all rattle

Hmmm...my film camera doesn't rattle..maybe it is a digital
thing...any idea what is causing the rattling noise? stray
capacitor?

A lot of time this is the orientation sensor (let's camera know if
it is shooting portrait or landscape).
