Annunciation | NOLA

So I've decided to see if my camera can be fixed. I filled out a repair request on Canon's web site so I can mail it to them. I'm hope whoever reads my description of the symptoms - "I dropped my camera into a glass of beer" - will have a sense of humor. It turns on, the lens retracts, I can view images on my memory card, the video function can still record sound, but the view finder is black and it won't take photos. So it's not completely dead. What the heck.
