Awww dude, that SUCKS!!!!!!! I'm sooo sorry.......

Don't stop posting, that's for sure!!! You are a valuable member here, your family, truly.

As for a new camera, start saving!! Even if it's .50, $1, WHATEVER......after a bit of time, you'll be surprised how it adds up. Instead of buying that candy bar, put the $$$ into an empty coffee can labeled 'New Camera'. I know that it sounds stupid or childish, but it works!!! Keep the can somewhere where you can SEE it all the time, that way there you'll be more apt to drop the $$$ in........


And when you can afford a new camera, don't be afraid to go with something that might be labeled 'open box'.....check it over, ask WHY it's 'open box' and then make your decsion.


Good Luck Buddy, keep up posted...........
