Avoid AJ Johnstone like the plague!!
Overpriced and under-skilled!!
Far too many people I know have had bad experiences there.
Either Canon UK (down south) or Cameratiks in Edinburgh (

for repairs to Canon cameras. Edinburgh crew have a very good reputation and have dealt with my gear before.

And imagine your horror when you were playing in the new sand pit in the spare room and dropped the camera...

Some credit card companies give 100 days insurance for goods that you buy using the card (eg cameras
)
Most have done away with it but I'm pretty sure Nationwide still offer this, if you were thinking of purchasing a "replacement"

Try your local camera club - someone there may be able to assist you or suggest something.
Failing that - check your holiday insurance or your home insurance for accidental damage.
Surely it's worth the excess to get a new camera.
It won't put your home insurance policy price up by much - it's probably going to go up anyway - everything else is!
If you've never claimed or not claimed for years they should be ok about it.

Thanks andy_snap, I'll give Cameratiks a call today see if they can give me a better quote
It's had nearly a whole can of compressed air sprayed inside, tapped, shaked and still no better so will leave it to a pro now!
