Broken Canon Camera...

I have a Canon Powershot SD 600, and I sent my camera in to Canon's repair company to have it fixed after I dropped the camera on its lens, which left them jammed. I should have been under warranty, but I lost my receipt and the Best Buy I bought the camera from couldn't find the purchase in their computers, so they were unable to reprint the receipt. Because I am not under warranty, I have to pay 115 dollars to have my camera fixed. A camera that is worth less than 200 dollars costs 115 dollars to fix? A little bit ridiculous, no?

My question is--does anyone know of a place that I can send my camera in to that could fix it for a more reasonable price? I need to get my camera fixed in order to replace my brother's camera which was stolen while in my possession.

Thanks in advance!

Parks, I once had that same problem (broken camera) and I did a little price-shopping. They all charge pretty much the same for repairs. I think it's worth it to buy a new camera. What a shame, since your camera is fairly new.

Parks-one more thing-I once bought a camera on ebay. It was advertised as still in box with all the accessories, etc. I think I spent $184. When I got it, it didn't work! When I complained to the seller, he said that he never stated in the auction that it worked.

Make sure you find out if it works!

On amazon it's $598.23 to be exact. I think it must be a typo. But you are right. You can by the same quality if not better quality for a little more than it would cost to repair the broken one.

Ooh--might even buy one for myself!! Thanks for the heads up!!

Heck, I just bought a Canon SD870 IS, a MUCH better camera than the 600, and only paid $299,,,,$598 for a 600 is just crazy.

Paying $115 to have yours fixed makes no sense when you can spend a bit more for a new camera.....

$149 for a 1000 is a damn good price...that's cheaper than anywhere else.
