chris, I don't mean for this to sound trite or...whatever...but I would highly suggest purchasing a digital camera instead. By the time you get your old camera fixed (with the possibility of it not being totally fixed) and pay for the service, you could buy a brand new digital camera. The ease of use and the instant quality is well worth the dive into this new territory. I'm a big fan of analog stuff, but I recently went "digital" with my photography and I couldn't be happier. go for it - you won't regret it!
