I dropped my camera :(

 

I was holding my nephew and trying to switch it to another hand and boom.. on concrete. Now when I take a pic it shows up with lines all over. Is it doomed?  Its a Nikon, any recs on where to take it to have it looked at. If its not fixable I dont want them to charge me an arm and a leg to tell me that.

Re: I dropped my camera :(

  • I'd call Precision (512-467-7676) and ask for somebody in the repair department. Tell them what happened and ask if its likely fixable and something that they can do or if it would need to be sent to the manufacturer.

    I've never actually used their repairs department, but they are so helpful and informative about everything else, without putting on a lot of pressure, I bet they'd give you honest information without trying to charge you for it.

  • I dropped my point and shoot and messed up the zoom ability on it last year. Precision was going to charge me $80 to fix it at that time, if that is any help. I never did it since the camera was getting older and $80 vs the current value of the camera wasn't a good deal IMO. Make sure to check your records and see if you got a warranty from wherever you bought it. Sometimes they cover dropping it, and you may have bought one and didn't know or don't remember.
