A couple of common question we hear are , "is it better to recycle my camera instead of fixing it?" and "how much should I spend on a repair before it makes more sense to get a new camera?" both are great questions and they both have a lot to do with the quality of your broken camera and the cost to replace it vs. the cost to repair it. Then there is the intangibles like emotional attachment to your camera and the anxiety of learning how to use a new camera. (yes people still fear change even when it makes sense).
As a rule, since we are biased, we try not to answer these question but we try to lead our customers to an answer that is best for them.
1- if the budget is tight, the repair is almost always the money saver of the two.
2 -If you don't care about the newest gizmo's and bells and whistles then it wise to fix the old camera
3-If your camera is expensive it is always wise to fix it vs. buying a new one.
4-If you love your camera and can't bare the thought of learning a new camera system then it is wise to repair your camera instead of buying a new one.
Camera Repairs are what we do, we love to take them apart and put them back together, but if you decide you want to buy a new camera instead of fixing the old one then please send us your old camera so we can recycle it. No use polluting the local landfill with camera batteries and other things that have an 2,000 year half life.
