[Hidden-tech] (Canon) camera cleaning/repair recommendations?

[tom/ reelife productions]

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!

Regards,

Tom
