Fujifilm finepix f30 screen broken. replace or not?

Question

the screen of my fujifilm finepix f30 fell off a dresser and the screen is cracked. i can still take pictures with it, but its completely blind aim. it was a $300 camera and i dont know if i should replace the screen or the whole camera altogether-with a cheaper camera. suggestions please?

Answer 1

It's still a fine camera by today's standards. If the cost to repair it is reasonable, say, no more than half the cost of an comparable replacement camera, I would repair it. Or you could offer it for sale on e-Bay "as is" and then use whatever you can get for it as a down payment on a new camera. Maybe set a minimum bid price of $100 and a "buy it now" price of $150...
