    Digital Camera Repairs

    I have a small, slip in the pocket, type camera, an Olympus FE-170, which has always performed faultlessly until a recent family Christmas gathering. I initially thought the problem was due to flat batteries, but with new fully charged batteries the camera will not remain on. It turns on, cycles a few times & then shuts down.
    Any recommendations as too a reliable repair location in Melbourne. or possible remedy for the problem?

    I hate to say it, but it's not worth repairing. For the money spent repairing (if it is still possible) you can buy a current generation point and shoot camera which will give much better quality pics.

    Cheers

    As above simply not worth repairing a 6MP compact camera, kmart has a waterproof 16mp for $49.

    I agree with the above comments, put your money toward a new camera.

    I think the advice you have got is probably spot on....

    But if you are still looking for a repairer, these guys are very good:

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    2015 TDV6 D4.... the latest project... Llams, Traxide, Icom 455, Tuffant Kimberleys and Mofos.... so far.
    2012 SDV6 SE D4 with some stuff... gone...
    2003 D2a TD5...gone...
    2000 D2 V8...gone...

    Yep, not worth repairing. However, I suggest a $49 camera from KMart might not be of great quality.

    I tried a 12Mp camera from Aldi. It was not very good and I returned it.
