Camera repair.

I have a Fuji F601 Zoom digital camera and managed to drop the thing whilst it's lense was extended. Having never had to get one of these repaired before I don't know where to take it? Or do I have to send it back to Fuji? Anyone know...It's not under warranty.

Nearest place I know of is a camera repair shop in Burnley on Standish St. Its not far from the new Sainsburys at the top of Active way.
Its called 'The Camera Centre' and its 01282 435743
They are meant to be very good.

Just phoned Camera Centre in Burnley.. They send cameras away and currently takes between 4 and 5 weeks ..ARRRGH

My Camera stopped zooming and focus on Saturday and after panicking for 24 hrs I gave the thing a good shake and it works again now...  Thus I am presuming some muck/dust in there.  I explained this and they said its a send away job

Can't go without my camera for that long.. Need every Saturday

Stuck

Oh well.. Its working.. lets hope it keeps working

If you end up stuck, I can lend you mine - i know how important your accy photos are. It hasn't got as good a zoom as yours but it aint bad - Fuji S602 Zoom (6X) + 1.5x Telephoto. No stability control so you need a steady hand(or lots of light!) at full zoom! I'm gonna give them a ring cos my F601 still hasn't been repaired but I don't need it for a while so 4-5 weeks is ok!

Howver mines working and I am going to soldier on for a bit.. I ahve my eye on a new camera thats out in Septmeber so gonna go for tha...

X12 Optical zoom

 for 300 quid.. the Panasonic DMZ FZ2

Thanks for the offer though.. Very much appreciated
