Once upon a really expensive camera

SO, I had a digital camera, had being the keyword. Someone, who shall remain nameless ( since i have no idea who they are) Spilled COKE on it. It no longer works, and I am beside myself. I have never ever told DH how much it cost, and am afraid to mention it, for fear of the full force of his financial speech. I use my camera everyday, and now I am researching new ones. Nikon? Kodak? Fuji? My beloved baby was a Fuji, a FinePix S5 Pro DSLR to be exact. It was a bit complicated, and was hard to figure out at first, but I LOVED IT! SO now I am thinking point and shoot, and therein lies the dilemna....I feel that by buying another camera I am somehow doing something wrong. Shouldn't I get it fixed? Less stuff in the landfill that way, but also a $900 repair on a $1200 camera is a bit steep. SO if anyone has suggestions I am open.....I am buying this week, I hope!

    Man that sucks! I have to agree 900 is steep for repairs. Maybe keep an eye on ebay for a cheap one for parts? Or sell it on ebay for parts- still keeps it out of the landfill. I am super cheap though, I would most likely hold on to it and pray for a miracle, trying to turn it on every now and then holding my breath, lol. I know nothing about cameras. I have a point and shoot and I can't even do that right.
