Camera Woes

I just heard back from the camera shop that the apple juice is not the culprit to my camera woes. It is in fact the entire front of the camera. Gulp!! They said that even the shutter isn't working. Funny since it still takes pictures. They want $185 to replace the parts, which is almost as much as the camera is worth. I guess I'm going to just use it broken, we can't afford to fix it. This of course means the new camera is closer (relatively speaking) to becoming ours. Sigh...
