Digital Camera Repair

[Julius Caesar]

Greetings all.

My Cannon camera has a lens error.
Cannon quoted $190.00 to repair flat rate of course. it is only $280.00 or so to replace
It is an SX100 P&S with extended zoom.

Any ideas where to get it fixed by a decent independent company?

If not I will bite the bullet and upgrade to a DSLR.

Thanks!

Gaius

If you really like the camera that price is reasonable. Most everybody will be the same, less for labour but more for parts.

Its not worth repairing. I suggest that you buy a new one. For the money spent on a repair, you can have better than what you have now. If you can wait till after Chistmas you will have loads of choices. After last Chistmas I picked up a 10mp kodac camera with inage stabilization at Canbadian Tire for $88. After Christmas is the time to keep an eye out for overstocks. I recently saw the same camera going for $177. Sometimes one company will make different versions of the same camera for several camera companies
