SD870 IS (Silver) - repair or buy a new compact
5 months ago
|
I have an SD870 IS, that has been purchased in 2008 and repaired 3-4 times so far. Now I dropped it twice. Namely I gently dropped my pants with camera in them on the floor at two different occasions, but heard a marked "boom" only to find that there was a newly-developed "hole" on the LCD that grew a bit larger over time. LCD now has these hotspots with dead pixels on them, and those spots are fairly large, like about half a penny sized spots. Otherwise the camera works fine.
I do like my SD870, I am used to its ways. It is nicely beat up, I am not worried about dropping it, or misusing it, but alas, the LCD spots aren't fun.
Do I repair this camera for $130 with Canon Repair? Or do I purchase a new camera? I like quality gear, so I will probably be looking to spend up to $300-400 on a new camera this way. I am quite picky too so that's another reason why I don't want to rush into purchasing something new.
