If you send to repair i wonder the same thing as Nic. Will they actually repair it or just get u a new one. Just for fun you cpuld try the following, grab a sharpie and mark the camera in a really not easy to see spot (inside the battery compartment, or the memory card slot, etc) and take a photo with your cellphone, send it in and check back whe. U get it. If theres the mark they repaired it if not u got a new one.
