Default Follow-up on wet camera / May need battery



I've looked all over and I can find it listed in the Panasonic
catalog, but no price, no way to order. Under parts for this camera,
Panasonic only lists the obvious ones. The big removable battery, etc.
all at outrageous prices. Something like 60 dollars for the battery
for a 90 dollar camera. . Another place sells them but I'll be
surprised if they will sell just one. I've filled out their Request
for Quote. I"m going to start another thread right after this one,
just to deal with the battery.

Hi,
Sorry to hear that your little camera is in trouble. First of all did
you try eBay for replacement battery? Another thing, even if you make it
work again with all the hard work, there is no guarantee it'll like as
it supposes to.
Time is money, how much time and effort are you going to spend with that
camera with residual value of lot less than 90.00.

If I were you, I'd see if I could find a used one on eBay to get, and
that broken one as spare unit to keep. Only time I dropped my camera was
wya back in 'Nam during the war, when I was ambushed by Cong sniper
driving on a remote highway under Huey gunship cover. When I jumped off
hurriedly parked Jeep, the camera strap around my neck came flung off.
