@taffy the camera was working if I put it in all automatic except it was like shooting blindly as the panel is smashed so you can't see anything or change settings. But as of today it won't shoot at all. I have all Canon lenses so I suppose I will stick to canon. Ironic that I am in the country where cameras are made but having to travel without being able to photograph.
@taffy I just took a photo with my phone. New era in photography for me. Of course I could try to sneak the camera from @vankrey from time to time but we are already stretching the students' tolerance for the time we take. :P
