Camera Donation Fund for Seibertron.com Galleries

Use the viewfinder... it still works right?

Holy crap. I hope you're all right. For your next camera, you might want to look into one of those whose LCD is on a little panel that can fold out and spin around, allowing the LCD to be protected (since it ends up facing the back of the camera). Trust me, that screen-protection feature has saved me time and again.

I hope that you can replace your camera real soon, Chief. Best of luck to you!

Eek, same thing happened to my iBook's LCD a few years ago. Never did get that em-effing thing fixed. D:

Anyway, I donated a little something to the camera fund. I'm sorry it's not much, but it was all I could do at the moment. Hope you get a new camera soon so we can see more of your awesome toy galleries!

I did call Best Buy to find out how much it would cost to replace the LCD screen. According to the Geek Squad by where I live, they said it would cost about $200 - $250 to fix the LCD. The camera was $450 a year ago so that's obviously not worth it. I'd rather just get 2 models up from what this one was which is now the same price as this was a year ago. This camera was only 5.0 mega pixels but the model at the same price point that replaced this is a 7.0+ megapixel camera.

Man, you do lots for us and ask for pretty much nothing in return. I love this site, and enjoy your galleries.

I can't give much, because I'm in the middle of moving and helping my sister prepare for her kid. But I'll give what I can, and feel happy to contribute.

For The Glory of The Colony!

Thats cold, he isn't asking for him, he's doing this for US!

I'm in advertising photography, and especialy with display items, that screen is priceless. One small nudge to the camera looking into the veiwfinder can ruin a shot that took forever to set up and light even if your using a tripod.

If you can't help, thats fine, I wish I could do more myself, but this is the Man's art that he shares with us for nothing, he knows what tools he needs.

if the camara's broken, what'd you use to take pictures of it?!?!?!...

sorry.. just being a hard a$$...

Good Luck Man... let us know what you're thinking of getting... personally I always do my shopping online.. lots and lots cheaper... find something you like at Best Buy and then froogle it...

Someone asked above what I used to take the picture of my broken camera. I used my 5 year old Sony Cybershot 3.2 megapixel. I tried taking some photos last night with it but it's too much work to do the stuff that I was able to do with the newer cameras. It's the camera in the middle of the following photo:



To those of you who have already donated, thank you so much! We're already up to $55 for the new camera. We're an 1/8th of the way there and we'll have a new camera on our hands.

$20 coming your way from me, Ryan.

Best of luck with the fundraiser and thanks for maintaining such an awesome Transformers site.

It technically is for 3 more days (ends on the 22nd) but I can't find my actual receipt and who knows how long it will take for me to receive the camera back. I've got a stock pile of figures I'd like to go through next weekend so I'd like to have a new camera in my hand by Friday or Saturday at the latest. I'm going to figure out something with that camera at some point so that I don't have to take the new nice one around with me on trips so that this will hopefully be avoided in the future.
