Every piece of technology has a life span - some cameras will last years and years without a glitch, others will die within a few months or years. Accidents do happen as well, all it takes is a glass to be knocked over and liquid to infiltrate the insides of your camera. The question is, do you repair or buy new?

It is very dependent on the damage done to the camera. To repair a camera which has been internally damaged can be an expensive and risky procedure, it will always be unclear as to whether your camera will regain the quality it once had. Repairing a camera with a slight minor glitch can certainly be worth your while, particuarly if the price was originally low. Of course, this is also a consideration in itself - if you have bought yourself a reasonably inexpensive camera and it is damaged, you may be better off spending that money on a brand new camera. Buying a camera new may enable you to update your technology, and perhaps give you more options and functions.

Your best option is to have your damaged camera assessed, and obtain a quote. Feel free to come in and get some assistance from our staff at Kirk’s Cameras!
