takes a lickin' & keeps on tickin' - sort of
this shows what happens to your camera as you're sliding into the driver's seat and it slips from your jacket's left pocket at the precise moment you choose to close the car door. miraculously, it still takes pictures! but unless i revert to using the viewfinder, which seems too pre-digital (and small!) to me, it's tricky to see the subject of the shoot. plus i am always afraid the camera will get jarred and all the jagged pieces of glass i can see in there will splinter out into my pocket. where the camera never should have been in the first place - but always was.

Looks like it is time for a new camera. You do not want it to crap out when you are taking pictures of some important event.
Oh no! What a tragedy! Maybe a new camera is on Santa's list for you this year??? I hope you've been nice, not naughty!
Oh Chris, gosh, I'm so sorry to see what has happened. Yikes! The damage to your viewfinder reminds me of people who have partial vision loss. Often their eyes and their minds compensate for it and many times they don't even know they have it. And so, you will probably get used to using a marred viewfinder. But the danger of broken glass is messy. Perhaps this is the universe's way of giving you a new camera.
Oh man, I'm so sorry for your camera. Do enjoy your pictures so much!
bummer
Sorry to hear about your camera ! I hope it's in Santa's budget to bring you a new one !! I never comment on your blog but enjoy your insights and posts...Lisa
Don't you wish there was a way to fix things like that? So many things are designed to not be fixed. I saw a segment on CNN about a young man in New York city who made a living fixing cell phones. He was very popular and was making a full time living from it.
