Shutter broken The shutter stopped working, and my local camera repair shop says they can't get new parts. However, I really like this camera and would rather not part with it. I'm not finding anything promising on the web -- Can anyone refer me to someone who repairs point 'n' shoot cameras like this? Given what new cameras cost and my preference for film vs. digital, the response I've gotten from some people of "It wouldn't be worth the cost" is not helping me to make peace with giving up this camera.

I called the business you recommended and asked the guy who answered if he repairs this kind of camera. He said, "No, I don't do any of that kind of stuff." Thanks, anyway.

I thought "giro 70" was the model #. Is there another one? Where would I find it? I thought "giro 70" was the model #. Is there another one? Where would I find it?

p.s. I've been all over the Rollei sites in a couple of languages, and it doesn't look to me like they have any kind of repair service for their point-'n'-shoot cameras. I think I even did the zip code search, but the people I called locally didn't do this, either. p.s.

Responding to IrishDruid: I called the businesses you recommended. Harry Fleenor's shop only repairs the Rolleiflex cameras, not automatics like mine.

Marflex liquidated and gave its business to a place called Krimar Photo Shop -- (You can find them athttp://www.krimarphoto.com/Services.htm)... The owner says he doesn't fix the automatics and there are no more parts around. I'm not sure how this could be true, so am open to more ideas from you or others.

Reply to The Machine: The Fine Camera Repair guy answered his phone but told me he's retired. Didn't have anyone else to refer me to. Reply to The Machine: The Fine Camera Repair guy answered his phone but told me he's retired. Didn't have anyone else to refer me to.

To Bestdarngood: I just called the place you suggested, but the guy says they don't have parts for the camera I have and cannot repair it. To Bestdarngood: I just called the place you suggested, but the guy says they don't have parts for the camera I have and cannot repair it.

To Eske: I've just emailed Advance Camera, as suggested by bestdarngood. Their website says they'll reply in a couple of weeks.

I haven't found another camera I like as well, so I'm still pursuing all options. I'd get another one of the same model, if I found it-- nothing on ebay last time I checked.
