Sigh...
This blog shall remain picture-less for an undetermined amount of time.
Why?
I broke my camera...my $350 camera....yeah....
CRAP!
First, I dropped it. I seem to have a nack for that kind of thing.
It wasn't a huge fall, but it did something to the lens. It wouldn't zoom in and out and it messed with the function of it enough that the camera would not take pictures.
We have no...as in, ZERO, ZILCH...local camera repair shops. Just to send it in to the nearest qualified Panasonic repair shop would cost over 1/2 of the camera's original price...plus parts. Oh yeah...and....I don't have any money. Bummer.
My solution?
Take it apart and "fix" it myself. (a trait I inherited from my father...only he is an engineer and knows what he is doing. Note to self....get a degree in engineering before attempting something like this again!)
It went fairly well....
until the very very end. I messed SOMETHING up ????? and now it wont even turn on.
DOUBLE CRAP!
Big ginormous sigh....
Does anyone have am extra camera lying around the house that I can borrow for a while or buy for super super cheap?
Just one easy click!

that REALLY stinks. My cam needs a repair, too. Luckily its under warranty, but it'll be gone for 6+ weeks. Can you image me without a camer for that long? Lifetime. I have a friend who also decides to 'repair' things herself and they always end up dead-er. I've stopped trying that, too. ;) good luck, friend.
Man, that's awful! I'm in the same boat as KS Photography in that my camera needs repairing and is under warranty. However, it will be gone for who knows how long and it is a cheap-o camera to begin with!
I wish mine was under warranty. It was up about 6 months ago. DANG IT!
