help with camera screen.....pls?

Hi

I ve just discovered that the camera screen onmy nikon 5700 has decided to go psychodelok (sp?)... ie instead of an image you get lots of stripey colours that move around.

The proper image seems to come back on/off......more off than on!

Any one any clues on this 0r any previous experience...?




cheers




David




edit the camera is coming up for 4 yeras old

 

um...could be knackered..?

are you able to take pics still, and upload them to a pc..?

I'd say maybe a loose connection or something...could take it to a dealer, but without knowing the camera itself, it maybe cheaper just to buy a new one...

 

thaat may yet be the conclusion . agreed.

funnily enough it DOES. (though you can't see what your taking )


yes, just up loaded/down loade stuff too

it was n't bought froma dealer .....but that might be an optiion yes.

 

yeah, depends on your finances really - are you able to live with the risk of taking pics (via viewfinder?) then uploading them onto your pc..?

 

My finances are ok, not brill.

I'll have a better look...have got a bit of time now. This is n't a tennable lomgterm situ. Have got a trip plannned for early oct ....my mums offered me her last compact I want to play with over rides etc

No, not good just now.

If i was goig to change i'd (ideally) be looking d40 etc. Won't be that though.....




edit; "are you able to live with the risk of taking pics (via viewfinder?) then uploading them onto your pc..?"


No.

 

check out this seller -
http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Canon-Outlet

they're canon themselves and sell refurbished stuff...I've used them before and you can, will get a bargain there - they all come with a guarantee...
tho, they haven't much much for sale just now...but you coul.d get yourself a cheap 400D for about 350...

 

useful link......thanks

 

yeah, it seems a bit weird - but if you look in the dslr section of their shop the following cameras are listed in these sections -
30D
Photography > Digital Cameras

400D
Photography > Film Cameras > 35mm SLR > Canon

which means that if the casual user is browsing the digital camera section - they'll miss out on the 400D as thats advertised in the 35mm film section for some reason!

 

stuff gets misplaced ocassionally....?

...like e bay i guess...


good/ useful rcommendation.

have you bought much from these guys?

 

yeah, 2 cameras including my current one..!

 

Just a thought, lcd screens, we managed without them for decades, why worry..

 

nikon evo (electronic view finder)

......one and the same thing!!

 

borrowed my Dads canon (s2 1S) for a bit....se ehow i get on with it.....

 

hiya
if you have a look here you should be able to get it repaired for free as it was a bad batch. it happened to mine and it was fixed for free.
