Those of you out there thinking of sending your cameras to this guy. Think twice! I made the mistake and lost my sony dsc-h2 which was in perfect working condition except for the shutter button. I don't have time to write reviews, good or bad, but really feel I should warn others about this scam.
My camera had a broken shutter button but was otherwise working fine and I was taking great pictures with it. I sent it to Darntoothysam for repair around mid may and got it back yesterday completely broken. They never sent a confirmation of having received the camera, didn't reply to my emails asking for status, and never answered any calls. The one email they sent when I was getting ready to file a claim with paypal was to say they had replaced the shutter button but then the backlighgt didnt work "when they put the camera back together" but they were going to order the backlight and fix it for me. I waited a couple more weeks and sent a few more emails but again they didn't bothered so I went ahead and filed the claim. Thomas responded a couple times during the mediation period, pretty much to say it wasnt his fault the lcd didnt work and implying that it was probably already broken when he got the camera. You would think somebody in the business would inspect and test these cameras before performing any work. His response was without any apologies or promises to get it fixed or giving any time frame for it. He was rather rude and said he was going to try but if I didn't want to wait "he would put the bad shutter piece back in and ship my broken camera back to me". So I decided not to take any more chances while I was still within the period allowed by Paypal and at least was able to cut my losses and get my money back.
As for the camera, I received it yesterday. I came with no screws, the lcd does not turn on as he promised, he didnt send the rechargable batteries I had sent with the camera, and the round metal under the shutter button is chipped and smashed. I took a picture in auto mode to check the lens and it came out all blurry. Not that I had any plans for this camera other than the trash, maybe a toy for my daughter but without the screws it will fall apart in the first minute.
So again, not recommended. Stay away from this shady business.
