Is my Camera dead?

nodwah

My 2 year old olympus mju 700 has broken, the lens cover won't open and the zoom is stuck.
Is this reparable or is it doomed?

I like this wee camera it's easy to use and I just bought a repalcement battery and charger for it this week!!

Can you claim off house insurance?
My camera failed earlier in the year and someone suggested to get a quote from Luton Cameras - details below from email they sent to me. My camera cost £275 but I decided to give it to one of my family as it worked but not on all the options I needed. Hope this helps but a warning that camera repairs can be dear and don't be surprised to hear a figure up to £100!!!!

Quote from Luton Cameras: -

equipment.

Never thought of that, thanks!

I suspect my son dropped it actually!

Blame that Olympus ad on the TV where he kicks the camera around the garden.

Hmmm yes.
Anyway, to atone for his sins he actually managed to pull the lens out as it were and it was working a bit but then i decided to try and switch it off and on again so it went the same. oops
I might phone the insurance on monday.
