If it's a point-and-shoot camera, spare yourself the tears and cash. You'd be better off buying a new one. Repairs are much more expensive. The old one? Throw it away or stop looking for it.
If it's a dSLR, bring it to the nearest Authorized Service Center of your camera's brand. This is where buying at your local distributor at a higher price may come in handy. Well if it's lost you can only buy another one.
Now you know!

I did buy a new one, and within a couple of months of the 1 year warranty running out it broke too, with less than 2 hours total use.
ReplyDeleteShould I buy another another one then?
You bought a new one which you had for 8 months but was used less than 2 hours tops? You don't need a digital camera. The one on your cellphone should do.
