Either you are afraid of the repairs bill, or you are suffering withdrawal symptoms.

Either way, the prognosis isn't good.

:P.

WOW, how did you Rebel get broke? I hate to here that and I hope you get it fixed soon. I hope you have a backup camera because you take great pictures and would hate to see you sit out for a while. My guess is â��rebel withdrawalâ��.

No backup camera at this time. My old oly bit the dust shortly after I bought the Rebel. I can take shots using the computer to trigger the shutter and capture the image, but there are two pins bent in the card reader/writer slot. And your guess is probably right on. Anyone got a spare point and shoot they don't need for a little while?

With your history? Why not just beat it with a hammer here and save on postage? ;-)

broke pins or bent pins?... if there not too far bent over take the battery out and get yourself a magnifying glass, tweazers and some light ant lift the pins up untill there close to straight then ease your card back in slowly.. I believe you can fix this yourself
