It was not specific on the invoice I received.Ryan R.

I was considering sending my PowerShot to Canon for a small repair, but I'm seriously questioning the wisdom of that move now. <BR/><BR/>One quick question though: Did your bill give any indication that the "minimum labor charge" varied with the product? Obviously the 40D is a much finer (and expensive) camera than the PowerShot. I'm wondering if the labor charge might be correspondingly more. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Matthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17464786672111781940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21546207.post-66328939251472526382008-02-11T07:27:00.000-05:002008-02-11T07:27:00.000-05:00180$ is some money - i think, i'd go for the 40D instead..Timmermannhttp://timmermann.tvnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21546207.post-78167718152078685082008-02-06T19:33:00.000-05:002008-02-06T19:33:00.000-05:00mangia - I considered not fixing it, but a used 20D currently goes for about $400-450... even if I just fixed and sold I'd still be OK... The other consideration was to toss it and grab a 40D... :)Ryan R.

It can be everything. Sometimes you'll need to clean battery or lens contact and sometimes you can only cry and take it to the official service. <BR/><BR/>I think that right now, service for xxxD class isn't the best option. <BR/><BR/>~250USD and you'll have again used camera.mangiahttp://www.mangiaphoto.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21546207.post-91130835116922551832008-02-06T15:08:00.000-05:002008-02-06T15:08:00.000-05:00Damn.. My girlfriend just sent in her Powershot last night because, all of a sudden the lens wasn't taking photos anymore. The LCD worked and you could see the menus, but that was it. You couldn't see anything in the LCD and the photos would be black. (No the lens cover wasn't shut).<BR/><BR/>She sent it in thinking that if it isn't too much, she'd pay to have it fixed but, at $180 minimum, it's probably better to buy a new camera, especially since this is her "secondary" camera now, ever since she got the XTi.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the info!Shawnhttp://blog.sduffyphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21546207.post-24898082150874104952008-02-01T09:41:00.000-05:002008-02-01T09:41:00.000-05:00Fortunately not bad. Just the minimum labor rate plus $15 shipping and $12 tax. -RRDRyan R.
