Ok, you went out and purchased an inexpensive Kodak Camera, one of the easyshare models for $129. Now you are having issues with the images being blurry or the lens won’t retract and you want to know what to do with it?
First of all if you open it up yourself and follow one of the self help do-it-yourself repair guides you might as well just toss it out right now. It will save you a couple hours of time and the results will be the same.
Camera Repair Made Simple
Do what I do, with everything… Find a professional who knows what the hell they are doing and take (send) the camera to them.
Recently my son’s little Easy Share just started taking crap pictures. Blurry, hazy, fuzzy, whatever you want to call them. At first I thought it was him (he is only 5) so I took a couple of photos – and guess what, I got the same bad pictures he was getting.
So after consulting the manual I quickly decided to spend $88 to get it fixed vs. spending $129 to buy a new one. (ok, I am cheap, but the $41 I saved will be well spend on Adult beverages)
After searching google for Kodak Repair centers I found Teleplan Camera Repair (and about 1 million other people) – Since teleplan recently fixed my XBOX under warranty, I felt comfortable sending them my son’s camera.
To make a short story long, we have the camera back. It is taking great pictures (for a camera that that cost $129+$88) – so if you are having camera issues, do what I do and send your camera out for repair. It will save you the headache of trying to fix it and ruining it, and it will give you something to look forward to as you check for a UPS box everyday for 3 weeks.
