Starting last night while shooting my band, my camera has started failing.
I'm getting a black LCD and EVF after a few shots, and those photos are black, too.
It comes and goes.
Maybe a loose connection to the sensor, if I have any good luck at all.
Still--even though I open up and fix all sorts of electronic gear there's no way I'm trying to fix it myself.
I've seen my camera opened-up on the web and it looks a bit too complicated for me.
Naturally, this had to happen right when I've started to become interested in taking new photos again after a long dry spell.
And I was going to buy a second flash today but now I need to save that money for repairs. And I've heard that my flash is being discontinued, and it's sold-out at B&H and Adorama--was going to spend $20 more to get it locally, and it'll probably be gone by the time I can afford it again.
