Life without a camera

Camera suffered a nasty tumble at Hadrian’s Wall a couple of years back and has been struggling ever since. A recent accident in the muddy Ribble Estuary sent it to its untimely death.

Buy new or get it repaired?

Decision time – to buy a new camera or get the old one repaired?
Panasonic recommended DKAVS so I packed it up and sent it for an estimate.
The repair = £120.
A new camera = £600.
A no-brainer.
Cannot recommend DKAVS highly enough.

Time to take it on a test run

Several outings later, pleased to report camera up and running.

Moral

In these times of economy and eco-friendliness – glad to have had my camera repaired.
(Just need to make sure it’s strapped firmly round my neck so it doesn’t suffer any other operator mishaps!)
