My camera stopped working today. At 1st I thought it was my wildlife lens but now it's a problem w/ all my lenses. I had issues 2 yrs ago. Back then the repair cost was cheap.
Just checked my shutter count (it's insane I can't get that info from the camera). It's a whopping 182,317. I think the useful life for my Nikon model is 100,000.
Question (for photographers only, please):
If you had limited funds would you use for repair? Or would you buy a new camera?
Please boost.
