it is impractical to let this camera be fixed.

- follow up!
sorry for that blunt advise i just gave you there.
anyway, im just concern on the money you wil spend on to refurbishing your camera which i just have said "impractical".
anyway, to answer your question. the price for actually spending repairs for your camera will ranger not less than 100$ up to 300$ depending on the conditions too.
again. i apologize for the sudden "blunt" advise there. and thanks for using fixya

This camera does not have an LCD, and I don't think it is worth fixing even though it is digital, My advice is to go and buy a new camera since the price of digital cameras are down quite a bit and you can find a decent one for under $200 for sure and it would be a good investment plus you can use the memory card from this camera and use it in the new camera, good luck on whatever you do but since the model is also discontinued, a new camera wouldn't be a bad idea, good luck on whatever you decide to do and please don't forget to rate this solution

- correction, this camera does not have a large LCD like many digital
cameras, and instead of using the LCD, the viewfinder is used, I prefer
LCD viewing for taking the pictures and upgrading to a camera with a
large LCD screenMar 26, 2008

Hello there
A work in progress.
Buy a more sophisticated camera or get used to your digicam's quirky ways, which probably includes an optical viewfinder that produces a tiny image and images that are not always accurately framed. Beyond that, keep in mind that photography is both an art and a science. The image you think you see when you're shooting may not be what the camera is actually recording. Having a fancier camera will not necessarily result in better pictures. Take a photo class at the local community college or find a talented photographer who's willing to take a critical look at your photos.
Regards,
pincer

- as an additonal info:
Digital cameras are not perfect. But the future is bright and you can count on certain things: Today's camera problems will be resolved, innovation will increase digital photo capabilities, and one of your kids will always have a goofy look on his face when you're trying to snap the perfect family photo. So keep snapping

- this is a common problem many of them encounter.
press disp button once or twice.
if no display then do a hard reset by removing the battery for few hours.
even if no display means the LCD may have gone faulty.
taking it to the company service center is advisable.
thank you
good luck

Hi, The control dial of my powershot G7 doens't work anymore... it just turns around without giving contact. according to a photographer, I should be able to select the "scenes" ( for example) in an other way, but I can't find it. Does anyone has an idea? Thanks a million. Marleen

the red hand flashes all the time. The manual recommends using a tripod. This can't be the only solution because the hand flashes almost 100% of the time. Please help? As a result the pictures are blurred with horizontal lines.
