• It is sometimes difficult to decide whether to repair or replace a piece of equipment.

The following are some basic "rules of thumb" which might help with your decision:

• If the cost is less than half the cost of the replacement, repair it
• If you have a sentimental attachment to your camera, repair it
• If your camera meets your photography needs, repair it
• If you have more than one lens or many accessories for your camera, repair it
• If you are comfortable with the operation of your camera and you don't want the hassle of learning a new system, repair it
• If you are planning to replace your camera with a used camera, dont'. Repair yours instead.
