So I brought my camera to the camera primary care doctor office, which is much different than the camera urgent care or the camera ER.
See I was told to pay $20 upfront, the copay, and then was told I'd be called by next Monday with an estimate.
An estimate!
So my camera will sit on a shelf for a week, and then I will find out what the heck is wrong with it. Once they do give me an estimate, the repair time frame quote is 4-8 weeks...and that is if I choose to repair it - the guy said sometimes the repair costs too much, and people often opt to purchase a new camera. Thus probably the reason he charges $20 just to look at it.
I think I might have needed to pick my eyeballs up off of his countertop when he said that...I know my camera isn't the nicest of all SLR cameras, but it did cost a LOT of money when it was purchased about 2 years ago.
Sucks.
I only wish I could take it to the urgent care or ER - but alas, I took it to the only camera repair shop in this state...which is probably the reason for the slow turn over.
I wish I had camera repair girl as one of my many trades. Among the many random jobs Paul has held - bus boy, painter, receptionist, roofer, monkey wrangler, etc. I just wish he chose camera repair guy as one of his random summer jobs.
What is a mom of 3 small, yet growing by the minute kids, going to do cameraless for the next 1-2 months...

Dearest Kristina, You can't be cameraless for 1 to 2 months because that means I will be without pictures for 1 to 2 months & that is unexceptable!! Tell my son in law (the one that stole my grandbabies) that he must find a college student that can fix it quickly. It could possibly get P off nana's naughty list lol. love you guys call Brandon may be it would be quicker to deal with snail mail. xoxoxox mom
