If you read my previous post regarding my broken Nikon P5100 you may remember that the man at Kerrisdale Cameras told me it would be 4-6 weeks before I received it back. So imagine my surprise when I picked up a voicemail on Saturday informing me that it was ready for collection!
I went up today, which is 2 weeks and 2 days since I took it in, to collect the camera. I'm pleased to report that the man who helped me today (a different one to last time) was efficient and bordering on friendly. There was no charge and I was straight out into the sun we've enjoyed this weekend playing with my new (ok, nearly new), toy.
The zoom switch is back as good as new and having had a couple of weeks with my old Nikon P2, it's certainly a welcome return. The P2 is a reasonable camera, but without a viewfinder and image stabalisation, I found it somewhat restrictive.
I am pleased that Nikon Canada seem to have turned around, what was probably a simple repair, quickly. Kerrisdale Cameras did their bit as well and I'm back to normal just at the right time. Last week I attended an Apple World Tour about their software package called Aperture. This really rocks! So with what feels like a new camera and new software I'm back to having fun with photography! Check out my flickr page if you'd like to see the results!
