Unlucky. Even more unlucky it wasn't a 60D ;) :D

I phoned Jessops for a rough estimate and they mentioned that when they send it away for repair, they charge £25 for an estimate regardless of taking it up or not - then the guy pointed me in the direction of the repair store which I phoned thereafter. Did the £60 include that £25 cost for...

Yes, sorry, that's what the fella on the phone said - would need a whole new top plate. And yes it was, the guy was really helpful! Now just debating with myself over whether it's worth paying the £108 to fix it, or just get a new body.

Just phoned a repair shop local to me and was quoted an estimated £108 to fix it :( Apparently will need a whole new top part. Absolutely devastating as I had my eye on a 35mm F/2.

Just to add one good story throughout all these bad ones, I bought my 500D body from their outlet on eBay and everything went smoothly for me!

So I've lost my battery charger for my 500D somewhere along the way of staying in hotels in the past month. Might have even misplaced it somewhere in my house, not entirely sure. Anyway onto the point, I was looking at Jessops and they're charging £52 for a new one, I don't particularly want...

I'm relatively new to DSLR equipment, having had my Canon for a couple of months or so now, my wallet's finally recovered enough to buy a Tripod, after searching a lot on here the overwhelming majority of people are recommending Redsnapper. I've got maybe around £50 to spend, I have around £56...
