Well, ****.
I've dropped my camera twice and I imagine it does have internal damages.
Last week it starts to yell at me, a vibrating thing in the internals of it, it makes that sound when the DVX starts up but it won't stop making it, and it's worse.
I take it into a shop. They want 600$ to repair it.
Here's the problem, they say: the 'gyro' is screwed up and so is the 'focus assembley'. They say the sound is caused by a screw up in the gyro ane the manual focus is broken. Since dropping it twice, I've shot a film with the manual focus, and it went well, so I think they're lying to me to jack up the price. They also have to use a computer to configure the lens as well, once they reinstall it, apparently.
They say its 300$ parts and 300$ labor.
I really don't have 600$ to spend on a deal that I don't trust.
SO!!!
Do any of you know how to fix these problems for less than 600$ in parts and labor, AND is this guy lying to me?
I would rather support a DVXuser member and put 200$ in your pocket (I doubt the parts are 300$) and do the whole thing for less than 500$.
Please let me know,
Thanks,
Denny
