A New Camera
Well I’ve disassembled my camera. I investigated and found out that it would be $80 to get a new lens assembly directly from Nikon. The problem is, I don’t know if I can actually order parts direct from Nikon or if I’m supposed to have a business license to do so. During my research I did a search on ebay for another p6000 and found a used one with a low bid on it. I bid twice on it and won it at $200 which came as a bit of a surprise. I didn’t really want to put the money down on it, but I couldn’t pass it up at that price, which was only $5 more than it would have cost to have Nikon fix my broken one through a Ritz Camera shop.
So here’s what the old camera looks like now after having tried to repair it taken with my new Nikon P6000:
Whether it looks like it or not, disassembly went well. I still intend to fix the broken camera when I get a chance, but of course I’m not in a big rush, and I have set up an alert that will let me know if a lens assembly becomes available to buy online.
