I recommend wholeheartedly the Sugru/Oogoo solution, the difference is amazing!

That looks very good! Did you put masking tape on the camera prior to applying the Sugru? How long have you been using your camera since you applied the Sugru?

No, no masking tape, just a lot a patience and my best reading glasses! The problem is that the surface of the buttons is very smooth so you have to apply some pressure to make the Sugru stick well. If you do that with the whole blob most of it will spill between the button and the body, and the button will be stuck forever. Therefore I first put a very tiny bit of Sugru on the button and made it stick, pushing and spreading it with a dissecting needle. Next I put the rest of the blob and shaped it with my fingers and the needle. I also used the needle to remove any Sugru that had come between the buttons and the body.
So far so good, I've been using it for about 4 weeks now, no problems whith stuck buttons, and the Sugru still sticks well. The next chapter will be how to remove it if I ever want to sell the camera, but that probably won't be soon since it's a terrific and versatile camera indeed
