I checked around online, and this is probably a shutter problem that needs to be dealt with by a professional repair outfit.
However, the camera is about 10 years old, and repairs would cost about $95 by one the estimation of one of the repair places...
So I'm looking for an affordable point-and-shoot camera with a good shutter speed and maybe some options for manual control. I'm most taking pictures of my projects, so it's not like I need anything fancy. Small and rugged would be nice bonuses. Any recommendations?
