Sounds like it is now a caving camera (if it still works). Then either
buy a better cave camera (like one of the new waterproof Pentax
cameras, my 4-year old Pentax is a W-60), or upgrade your Canon to a
newer one for probably cheaper than the repair, or both, and then
insure the cameras under an itemized list attached to your home owners
policy.

Folks,
I have (had) a Canon EOS Rebel XT digital (8 mg) camera. The camera
bag rolled out of the car and fell on its head at convention and now
the LCD screen doesn’t function (the one with all the camera data, not
the screen which shows the picture). Lens works fine. So, is this
thing worth repairing considering there is probably a repair cost to
tell me how much more it will cost to repair or should I buy a new
camera. If so, I was thinking of just buying the same or similar
body. Seems they have upgraded it some and they now use SD cards
which would be nice. Any thoughts on what I should do. It has been a
pretty good camera up until now. I certainly don’t need any of the
high end professional cameras but still like a SLR.
