A question regarding digital cameras. - Scifi-Meshes.com

If the digital display on a digital camera is messed up, but that's the only thing wrong with it, do you suggest I continue using it, or replace it the minute I get the chance financially?

Warranty?

Even if it's out of warranty, sometimes companies will fix things like that anyway - especially if there's a history of problems.

What do you mean by "messed up"?

Display is no longer working : You now (almost) got an old film camera, you'll have to transfert the pictures to know if they're good or not.

Display is partially working : At least you (may) know that the picture is focused correctly and doesn't need to be taken again...

As for replacing/repairing it, how MUCH that defect botters you?

Sometimes they can be repaired or have the part replaced, it depends on how integral the part is or how expensive it is.

If it's getting really old anyway you may as well replace it, like most technology, new ones coming out now are better and cheaper than ever.
