Where to Get Your Camera Fixed

At some point, it's likely that even the most expensive and well-built camera is going to malfunction and have some kind of problem requiring service. However, figuring out where to send your camera can be a mystery. Corporate websites often bury support options under layers of menus, making it difficult for all but the most dedicated user to find a phone number or mailing address.

So here are some addresses I've pulled off the web for a few of the major manufacturers:

Please enclose the product in a plastic bag and pack it in a sturdy box with several inches of a quality packing material on all sides. Please do not ship the product in its original box, and please send only equipment you wish to have repaired. Keep a record of the model and serial number. If the product cannot be repaired under warranty, we will send a service estimate for your approval. Our service center evaluates each product on a case-by-case basis and every consideration will be given to your circumstances.

Repair information is available on-line. We will send you a service order number shortly after we receive your product in for service. Once you have your service order number, you may approve or refuse an estimate, obtain information on the status of a repair, obtain a package tracking number, or e-mail a question to our service department.
