What would a sensor replacement cost me?
Sorry, I missed your quote earlier....
On the issue of throwing away, I would never recommend anyone throw away a camera, even if it is broken.
Camera equipment is way cool to throw away, and always good for parts, props, dangerous missions etc etc
).
Having said that, I think its worth testing thoroughly before calling it also. Perhaps try everything in the book to make absolutely sure(on your end) that it is the camera and not something else. Even if it seems very likely that the camera is faulty. Who knows right? For example, have you tried using a different memory card? Different lens, different battery, with and without the grip, different modes and so on and so forth to determine if the issue is repeatable?
Hope this helps.
