camera


Question Posted Wednesday August 8 2007, 9:24 pm

The thing is, I'm rather poor. The only expensive thing I have is my camera. It's not much really. It's about $200 or less than that. I'm really into photography and it means so much to me.. because it's a one time thing- it's not like I can get a job or allowance to buy another one..

My friend broke it. The lens are messed up. She opened it and as the lens opened, the camera dropped. Now whenever I turn it on, it shows a blank white screen OR "lens error" usually.. this problem is fixed by opening the battery lid and closing it. Turning it back on and it doesn't help now. It only helps after about 6 or so times doing it. Even when I try to take a picture, this white screen pops up or the errors screen does.

I'm clumsy too but with my camera, I'm not. So I don't know. My friend has had really good cameras, more expensive than mine. My boyfriend is telling me to get her to buy me a new camera since she's the one who broke the lens.

I don't know what to do.

You might ask your friend to either chip in for the damage or loan you one of her cameras until you can pay to get yours fixed.

If you are interested in keeping your friendship I would ask to borrow her camera and not ask her to pay for the damage just because that will cause problems in your relationship.

Honestly though accidents happen so it is a bit bold to ask your friend to pay for dropping something, but on the other hand if your friend was following etiquette rules she should offer to fix what she broke.

Take your camera to your nearest Costco or Best Buy.

Take it to ''Tech Support''

The same thing happened to my cousin's camera.

OR

Call The Geek Squad.
They really help.

If not, then ask your friend to repay you or something in the classiest way possible.

good luck!
