Hi
I've just returned from a weekend away where I took a tumble down a flight of stairs holding my camera. The body is OK apart from a few scratches (same as my own actually!), but the kit lens (18-55 IS) took a thump and now the autofocus doesn't work. You can hear the motor whirring but nothing happens - i'm presuming a gear has been knocked out of kilter.
Is it worth getting it repaired or should I just get a new one?
How much would canon charge for such a repair as if it's close to the cost of a new one then as money is tight at the moment would it be better to buy a new one.
TIA
Iain
