Dropped Canon Rebel T4i

[lucyweaverr]

My camera dropped from a 3 foot table— when I took a look at it, it seemed that the lens was uneven so I took the lens off and put it back on but the auto focus wasn’t working. I tried taking it off again and noticed that there were some small broken plastic pieces on the lens but they didn’t look like they could affect much. When I put the lens on though, it seems loose like it doesn’t fit right. Is this a mechanical issue with my camera because it dropped or is the lens broken and I need a new one?

Probably both.

Looks like a good time to upgrade to the T7i.  I don't think Canon services the T4i any longer. So, upgrade is in order and be more careful.

Yes upgrade, even if Canon would repair it would cost a whole lot of money. Upgrade and buy an accidental damage extended warranty too. T7i kit or even the T6i kit whatever your budget allows.

Yes.  Not even a question.  Divine intervention.  God telling you its time to buy a new camera.

"Divine intervention."  

The T4i was not all that good of a Rebel anyway.  It was superseded almost before it came out by the T5i.

Bought a new lens for $35 on mob.com and it works like new! thanks for the suggestions though
