Question: Is it really gonna work for its price!? and having issues with current camera!?
Right now I have a Canon PowerShot A560 7!.1 megapixles!.I use this at concerts and shows mainly but all my pictures come out blurry or the settings just don't work well at the concerts and shows(usually dim lighting) what kind of setting would I want to use!? and also with this camera I have no idea what happened but I look out my memory card to upload pictures then put it back in and it said "card is locked" so I checked but it wasn't locked and when I put it back in it said the same thing!.and I tried other memory cards and it says the same thing,and I can't use my camera unless it's unlock!.So is there anyway I can fix this myself!?and for this new camera I want,I usually check the sunday ads for good deals,and even ebay,but I was on Wal Mart!.com and found this Kodak I forget what kind it was 12 megapixles for $179!.and the reviews were high and some posted there pictures from the cam and they were great so should I get this while I have the advantage to a cheap high quality cam!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

In low light any camera set on auto will have to select a slow shutter speed, that's why your pictures are blurry at concerts!. Any point and shoot will have the same problem, but some allow you to raise the ISO (which makes the camera work faster), but at the expense of noise in your pictures!.
As for the $179!.00 camera make sure the 12Mp is the optical resolution (sometimes referred to as sensor resolution) I suspect that at that price its 'interpolated' from a much smaller sensor and is useless, your computer can do a much better job of 'interpolating' than any camera can!. Look for the optical or sensor resolution figure!.
Cards do fail, but it's unlikely that all your cards will fail at the same time, so the only other thing thats common to all the cards is the camera, have you a friend who can check the cards on their camera!? Sometime it's not obvious which is the locked or unlocked position on the cards, if the cards work on another camera then it's your camera that's at fault, could be a simple fix for a camera repair shop!.
