and I’ m glad.

Today I felt a sense of relief to get my camera, my DSLR, my Nikon D80 back from the repair shop after almost two months!

I had my camera repaired because of problems after I used my camera at the beach. Somehow, it wouldn’t take any picture but the shutter would still function. I was really upset to realize that my camera was broken and it hasn’t even reached a year of use!

I felt weak in most point especially when I would have to go to events since I couldn’t capture the moment. Although it’s also good since I’m able to focus myself on other things such as maximizing my blog to earn more money and such, I still wanted to get my camera as soon as possible.

I had the camera repaired at Camera Care in Cebu. The repair man told me that I could get it back after two weeks. But then after how many follow-ups, it went up to two months. Right now, I’m really just happy that I got it back. It cost me an arm too. darn it.

I was planning to sent it to Manila to have it serviced in the Nikon Service Center, I don’t know why Nikon still hasn’t set up a service center here in Cebu. Anyway, when I called them up, they told me that it wasn’t covered with warranty even if I had the warranty slip since it was purchased in the black market. Sigh. To think that I had the official international warranty with me, they told me that the warranty was only good outside the Philippines (which explains the international tag, duh!).

Anyway, the good thing is that I got it back and it has two months warranty from the local repair shop (Camera Care). What’s up with the number 2? hehe.

Now I’m ready to snap away… only I have to get used to the camera again. My skills have somewhat decayed due to its absence. Sheesh.
