No Photos From Me For A While

It's great that someone bought you a new camera, but did you take the old camera to someone who knows about them to see if it really is bust or something easy to resolve? More often than not, in my experience, they turn out to be pretty simple to fix or even resolve themselves.

BTW cellar, I need a new minivan........

Probably worth doing that anyway. No harm in having a spare about the place if it can be fixed. Though my experience with compact digitals is the exact opposite: they break over some minor mishandling and repairs cost the same as the purchase price or more. Granted most of my experience of this comes from when I broke my camera whilst twisting round to try and photograph my arse...

And it's not really a donation, so much as combination belated Christmas/early birthday pressie.

Oh gawd yes, professional repairs are not worthwhile in the main. But I really did mean someone who knows about cameras. An aquaintance who has a few would be ideal. We have found taking the memory card out overnight has worked. Just using a different set of batteries.... stupid things but they worked. Digital Cameras are such Divas!
