My camera fell....
while the shutter was open It still works but shutter is having hard time opening and closing. It's a Canon S410, will it be cheap to get it fixed or time for upgrade?

$150 and I have to send my S410 back within 10 days. SD400 are going for $230 so I guess it's a so so deal.

Also Canon rep said average cost to get the camera repaired is $100 so not bad for $150.

Ya, repair costs are crazy. I can see direct replacement in the not too far distant future for P&S's. Much like they do with most printers.
