The three weeks without the camera made me go nuts, but to have it running again without fixing every photo was more than worth it.

Barb, I'm starting to think I agree with y'all. I have noticed over the past six months or so that all my photos in portrait orientation are strangely off-center. I can center my subject in the very center of my viewfinder, and when I chimp the shot, the subject is far to the right and slightly cut off. I understand you lose some of the long side of the shot in digital ratio (I don't have a 4X6 setting on my camera), but this is ridiculous. My dad said I may have bumped the mirror.

My camera's not under warranty any more, but I did dig up a potential store here in town. You'd think a place called "Bob Sale Gift and CAMERA" would have popped in my subconscious, but it didn't. I looked them up and they are rumored to have camera repair services. I'm going to check them out.

If they don't pan out, I'll just go to Jackson or Shreveport and have someone do it over there. I'd rather drop it off and make another trip to pick it up than mail it off.
