Hello, What is the going rate for a camcorder service? I have a canon hv40 and one half of the lens cover will not close. I think it may have got sand in, when we went to the beach! I have been quoted £125 from a canon authorized repairer. Is that about right? I'm in the midlands. I will look into getting a UV lens to put on the front to stop this next time. Is there a make that you particularly recommend? Thanks, Stephen.
