Well we are very disappointed to announce that our camera is broken! The lens cover is stuck in the closed position. We have only had the camera for about a year and a half and I feel totally ripped off! I have looked into getting repaired. . .it seems like it would be a quick, simple fix. However, the only place I can find to fix it is directly through Sony. They charge a flat repair fee of $111.00, not including shipping and tax. Is it just me or is that a little ridiculous? I looked around and I could get the upgraded version of my model for less than $200. So why would I pay all that money just to fix an old camera? I'm sure that's why they set it up that way. . .so you keep buying new cameras rather than fixing up an old one. I'm a little perturbed to be honest with you. So now I'm in decision mode. Do I get the old camera fixed or do I buy a new camera? Or do I put it off and wait until we actually have the money to do one or the other? I'm not really sure what to do but I do feel that with the age Ella's at I really don't want to go too long without taking pictures. . .she's growing and changing so fast! I guess we'll just have to see what we can figure out.
Moral of the story--you won't be seeing any fun pictures for a while! I'll still try to find something interesting to post.

I am so sorry guys, that really does stink....I hate situations like that where you feel stuck. But my advise, go all out for a new camera, I promise there will be many moments from now until you get one that Ella will do so many things you wished you had a camera for:)
C'mon Heather you married a DOCTOR! you can afford a new camera:)
except that your doctor is paying his way through medical school right now!
My camera recently broke too, same deal 110 to repair 200 new. I waited a while,but was so sad to miss all Andrews moments,we broke down and got a refurbished newer model for 150. good luck
p.s. i'd go buy a disposible camera until you decide what to do. Ella is too precious to miss.
Chad and I are crying right now because we simply must see more pictures of our sweet granddaughter. What about an early Christmas present? Perhaps something could be worked out....
