Opinions on camera repair?

Recommended Posts

A few months ago, I dropped my video camera onto concrete from maybe three feet up. Since then (I'm pretty sure it started then...), the audio and video have been glitchy, and it's getting slowly worse -- beeps in the audio, and digital messiness in the video. Anyway, since so many people jump video, and fail to baby their cameras, I thought somebody might be able to help with a couple of questions:

First, does this problem sound familiar? Anybody have an idea what might be up here?

And second, what's everybody's experience with camera repair? Particularly if you've had a problem like this one before, how long can I expect the camera to be in limbo? What do repairs typically cost (if there is a typical)? Do service people usually freak out about surface mods (stuff glued on, port covers cut off)?

Thanks!
