OMG my hobby, my pride & joy is dead. After almost 2 years of babying my digital camera like it was a GOD the stupidest accident happened and now it's damaged beyond repair and there is no way in hell I can afford to replace it. I set it on my inside window ledge in my bedroom to do a wide angle shot of my now setup up bedroom and when the auto pictures snapped I came back in the room grabbed the camera but the shoulder strap got caught on a nail sticking out that I did not see and it ripped out of my hand and crashed into the wall then fell onto the floor. The telescopic barrel is stuck out and cracked and will not go in and the camera will not even boot up the screen comes on then quickly turns off again and makes a horrible grinding noise. FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS $600 hobby gone I was just getting ready for all the spring shoots I was gonna do!!!! I'm off to cry some more as I been crying all morning shit never fucking goes right for me *emotional* *pissed *crytears

Sorry to hear that Stec. I know how you like to shoot photos, and how good you are. Are you sure you canīt get it repaired?
Its not fair ofyou to say things wonīt work right for you. You have done many things right, good things, and iīm sure you will find a way out of this too. You are a strong guy. *think

so sorry to hear that Shawn. I agree with the others, see if by chance it can be fixed. Do you still have a warranty on it? (hug)

I would offer you to send to me to take a look at......but the fees for the exporting/customs back and forth would be better placed towards local pro repair. The declared value of the camera would kill us to send it back and forth.

No the lens cylander is cracked the whole thing would need to be replaced along with the motor and to that would cost more than it would to buy a new camera and I have no apartment insurance so I may just auction off some items and maybe a few autographed undies or something to raise money so I can get a new camera. I been making a list of stuff I can sell in an online auction but I'm not sure I will do it yet as I know nothing about ebay and stuff like that?
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we will change the world. All my very best,
