Broken Camera

[paperman]

I found my Sony T50 this morning and it can't focus on anything.When just viewing through the screen the images are all blurry. Could this be because of a drop the night before? If so will buying a new lens assembly from ebay fix it (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...%3DI%26otn%3D2) thanks in advance

Yes, it's almost certainly the lens unit.
Let us know how the repair goes.
If it's a sealed lens/sensor unit there should be no problems with focus.
But if it's lens only and the sensor stays in the camera, then be careful to test the focus before you put it back together !

Sounds like a good possibility, but let us know how it works.

I do think it's a little ironic that the ebay seller can't come up with a better picture of a camera repair part than that...
