Can you believe how much this crack on my camera will cost? Is it even worth repairing my Sony mirrorless body, especially now? Arrgh – help me!

Damaged camera.

My long-suffering Sony A7 III is a workhorse. I don't think it wanted to be (in so far as cameras have wants). Seven years ago it was a near miraculous camera with creative powers like 4K, a full-frame sensor and in-body stabilization at a price I could manage. But life has changed, and there was the accident.

The poor camera spent a lot of its last few years taken for granted. I'd wrap it in a cloth, or even a T-shirt, stuff in my bag, and leave it with its standard kit lens, because it was good enough (and, frankly, then some) to grab the shots I needed.
