My Panasonic Lumix FX-520 sent for repair

It would seem that there really is such a thing as a camera being "too small"! My trusty FX-520, pocketable sidekick to my cumbersome DSLR gear, has many features. Unfortunately, impact-resistance isn't one of them....

The FX-520 is my chosen P&S, as it actually fits in my pocket (being rectangular in shape when powered off, not unlike a typical candybar cellphone). Being one of the few with manual controls, and built-in optical image stabilizer to boot, I'm able to get off a shot with this one, in less time than it takes for me to unzip the bag that holds my DSLR.

A recent incident involving my dear FX-520 and the floor resulted in the lens being whacked roughly 10 degrees off the main axis, which jammed it in place, unable to retract once powered off.

Well, it's off to the repairer for this little guy then. Hopefully, it won't take as long as my recent repair job with Nikon!
