Last christmas i bought myself a digital camera. a couple of months ago it started making this awful noise when it turns on but then the noise goes away. my screen is a little discolored. but the camera still works. i called the company and becuase my warenty is out, if i want to get it fixed it would cost about 100 dollars for inspection and then extra money for parts. should i spend the money to get it fixed or just buy a new one? i bought the camera 2 years ago x-mas (2005) buy a new one... for sure.. Buy a new one! Why is your warranty out in just a few months? Most name brands warranty is a year. If you decide to get a new one and need help, ask for advise on this Website and mention how much you're willing to spend and what type of pictures you'll be taking. Will you use it a great deal? |
