    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 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.

    I have heard good things about the mirrorless cameras.

    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.
    Where I'm from we only have one bit of advice for new comers: "If you hear banjos, turn and run".
