Canon Camera-Power Shot G6 Died, next

After thousand photos, sever trips overseas, being bounced around , my Canon Power Shot G6 died...the lens came off track...I can see this.
Options, repair...$120
Ebay, buy the same, I have several 4GB memories, and batteries
What I like...I know my camera, photos, videos
7.1 Megapixel , focal range of 7.2 to 28.8mm (35-140mm equivalent in 35mm format)
What I don't like...when shooting a video, max of 2 minutes per video,
the light sensor doesn't change.
When taking a video, it will not change when going from light to dark.
I turn off the video, camers will reset the light-sensor, then continue the video...I know, I am asking a lot.
Or, buy a different camera.
What do you like?
Thanks

Buy a better one. :wave:

buy a new camera and make sure you get an accidental handling and damage warranty. if you break your camera, the warranty company will buy you a new one.

Looking on Ebay, there are several options, G7 - G12 , $100 - $400.
Besides Photos, being able to shoot a video longer than 2 minutes.
Still looking

I have heard good things about the mirrorless cameras.

The mirrorless looks good, does everything I need...not sure about the $6k price

Mirrorless cameras can be found for 400-800$ depending on how fancy you want to get with it. I'd also throw my vote in for a new camera. If you had a high end DSLR it would be worth it to get it repaired, but point and shoots are usually better being upgraded.
