My cousin has an old Pentax camera (don't know what model), and a collection of lenses but the camera is broken. I suggested a repair job but I don't know if he wants to spend any money on it. In the meantime, a friend gave me a Pentax ZX-50 which appears to be in mint condition save the fact that it doesn't work. It makes noises and the mirror slowly raises and lowers but the shutter won't operate. Before I knew it was bad, my thoughts were to gift it to my cousin, but now that isn't the plan.
I noted that a used (good condition) PZ1-p is available on ebay so I'm trying to decide between having the ZX-50 repaired and buying the PZ1-p for him (about $130US).
Any suggestions including a reference to a good repair service would be appreciated. Will go with the majority vote.
Thanks.
