Last month we covered how to determine if your camera is truly broken or if there is simply a minor issue that you can address on your own. If you pick up your camera and hear a random part rolling around, we can surmise that the camera needs to be in the hands of a professional. Here’s what to consider next:
Check the Manufacturer’s Website: Camera manufacturers will sometimes issue ‘service advisories,’ which are formal statements outlining a particular issue for certain cameras. If your camera falls under one of these advisories, it will be repaired at no charge. Just make sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for return and repair.
Find a Specialist: Bring your camera into our store for a free evaluation. We will give you a professional recommendation so you can decide what steps need to be taken. It might be a minor problem that can be addressed with minimum expense and time required.
However, more serious repairs can cost anywhere between 25-50% of the original purchase price, so if this is the case, we will need to evaluate how to get you up and running again in a way that gives you the most for your money.
We want to make sure you’re ready for this holiday season so stop by if you have a damaged camera and we’ll see what we can do to get you back behind the lens!
