Thank you all for your thumbs up and for your posts. Asa, sorry, but the credit of Huernia zebrina is not mine
I did not contribute to the contest.
Well, my friend/neighbour/Vet was here and brought the camera: it is BRAND NEW (only 9 pictures had been taken!). He did not want to tell me if the repair had any cost - he said he just wanted to see me smiling again (he put my Rory to sleep a bit over a month ago). The camera will certainly not replace Rory, but will re-direct my attention. It's sooo good to have my Z710 again after a whole year!
