Re: Which camera do I want?
That was the first thing I tried, of course. Then I tried spraying WD40 all over it but that didn't help either. As a last resort I took it the Wise Woman who filled it with still warm chicken entrails and EVEN that didn't work.FBM wrote:Did you try hitting it with a hammer?Clinton Huxley wrote:It's a Sony.

I usually go with duct tape before chicken entrails, but I'm not judging, mind you.

Boohoo. My telephoto lens will cost £120 to repair and it will cost £180 to replace the image stabilisation unit in my camera. Harrumph.

Re: Which camera do I want?
A facebook thingy I read the other night:
A famous photographer was invited to dinner by a famous socialite in New York. When he arrived, he was met by the host. "I really admire your work, you must have a fantastic camera!' The photographer did not reply. After dinner, he said: "The food was wonderful. You really must have a terrific stove."
