Camera Repair
How much am I looking at paying to repair my Camera Lens?
It’s a retractable lens (I guess?? I’m not a camera person) but anywho, it was all the way out like I was about to take a picture and I accidentally dropped it on tile floor. Now that just made one of the levels of the retractable lens bend in a little, and it’s done that before and I’ve just popped it back into place (which I’m sure i not the best idea but thats how I learn) so I attempt to pop it back into place and it totally goes way inside and the par t ( I guess the shutter that opens and closes when you turn it on and off) just broke off…all of it still works but when I try to turn it on the lens tries to come out but it can’t cause it’s stuck inside. So anyway…I haven’t messed with it anymore cause apparently I can’t fix it but I was wondering how much the repair of this would cost. It’s a Canon Digital camera if that matters. If this doesn’t make sense just e-mail any questions. Thanks for your help.
Unfortunately it will likely cost more to repair than to replace. Even if its under warranty, abuse such as dropping isn’t covered. You may as well begin shopping for its replacement.
Since you didn’t say what model Canon you have I’m guessing its a digicam. Check the Sept. 2007 issue of Shutterbug magazine for a review of five 10 megapixel digicams. You can also access it at shutterbug.com.
When you get your new camera, secure it around your neck with a good neck strap. In 36 years I’ve yet to drop a camera. My camera is either in my Camera Bag or hanging around my neck.
