I have a three broken digital cameras lying around. Seems each one has something different wrong with it - one the lens wont collapse , another is totally fried - i think it got wet, and #3 the electronics are good as are the optics, but the screen is broken on the back - still takes good pics though
Whats the coolest thing I could ever do with three broken cameras?

I was actually wondering the same thing..looks like we have the same thing in common. I cannot seem to keep a camera for more then a year

...I too have 3 broken digital cameras. One the flash is gone, two the lens won't collapse and the other it got wet. I am not too sure if broken cameras are worth anything, but I would for sure like to know

I took my camera into a shop and surprisingly were able to fix it for only $50..I cannot wait to get out and start taking pictures again..feels like forever! If you want to try and fix your camera I suggest going to this site here and submitting a form: http://www.camerawor...et/contact.html
