My camera died yesterday. I dropped it while trying to take a picture and the lens kind of went back in on itself. :( It was bent and it wouldn't move from the position it was stuck in. I brought it this afternoon to the Canon service center in Shaw Boulevard and what they told me was ridiculous. Really, it was! The girl said it would cost me Php8000 plus to have it repaired. I was like, O_O? According to her, the entire lens had to be replaced but I'm sure the only problem is mechanical in nature which wouldn't require a full replacement. How do I know this, you might ask. I know this because I was messing around and trying to fix it and with brute force and persistence, I was actually able to pop the lens back into place! At one point, I was even able to take perfectly clear and focused pictures. The zoom in and out thing wouldn't work though so I'm sure the lens is fine, something must have gotten misaligned from the impact. But I really think it's easily fixable.
I'm asking my mom to bring it to a different service center. They might be a little less opportunistic. MEH.
