I just fixed a friends Canon 50D which had a broken LCD... Got one off of Ebay for $15. Took a while to change it but all is fine now.
Wow, impressed by the quick reactions- thanks all!
Hoping to use the prime for stills/closeups, without the expense of a good macro lens - do-able ??
Here in the UK (Scotland) , it's been a very wet winter, and grey along with it, so not many opportunities to try the camera yet.
With the LCD, i am not sure its' the lcs screen as such that is broken, since it was working one day and not the next, without a knock, water, anything. A repair shop said it was the main board, but in other respects it's working fine, so not sure. As one person said on one site, it just forces you back to film photography, which is true I suppose, but there are a host of other reasons to want to see the screen!!
Ce la vie....
