Broke my camera

jcoo085 · 02-02-2006, 05:38 PM

I was taking some more pictures of the car earlier this evening, and stupid me I managed to smash the camera. I was using a tripod and one of the legs is a little wobbly (it's pretty old and I hardly ever use it). I put it to the side while getting something out of the car, and I'm sure you can guess what happened. It toppled over, right onto the lens. Now the lens is completely jammed open, but luckily I can still turn the camera on in playback mode and was able to get the pictures off it.

Anyone know approximatly how much it would be to fix? Would the worse case scenario be a new lens and motors? It's a Sony DSC-P10. Would it even be worth getting it fixed?

Hmm, good luck with that one. You could always contact Sony to find out your options but I'm gonna guess you need a new camera.

Real sorry to hear that. Damn that sucks! I think youre gonna need a new camera, digital cameras seem really fragile.
