How much does camera repair cost in Europe?

Almost always, yes. Manufacturer service uses list-price parts and full labour rates, and many centres refuse discontinued or third-party gear altogether. We publish fixed prices up front, repair at component level where it makes sense, and take on the vintage and out-of-warranty work brand centres turn away.

It depends on the fault, but our fixed prices give a clear range: sensor cleaning is €30, aperture and Err-01 repairs start at €80, shutter replacement from €120 to €500 depending on the body, LCD replacement from €150, board-level electronics from €300. Diagnosis is always free, and the exact price is confirmed in writing before any work begins.

From €120 to €500 depending on the body: an entry-level camera sits at the bottom of the range and a professional body at the top, because both the part and the strip-down differ — on a mirrorless, for instance, the shutter sits behind the sensor block and getting to it means opening up almost the whole camera. The fault announces itself as Err 20 or Err 30 on Canon, ERR on Nikon, and “Camera Error. Turn power off then on.” on Sony. Diagnosis and the written quote are free, and every repair carries a 6-month warranty.

No. We are inside the EU single market, so a parcel from any EU country travels like a domestic shipment — no customs, no duties, no VAT paperwork. (We do not accept shipments from the UK or Switzerland, where post-Brexit/non-EU customs apply.)

The diagnosis is free, so you can always find out the real fault at no cost. If a repair is not worth it, we tell you honestly — you only pay the €20 return shipping, or we can recycle the equipment for you for free.
