Broken LCD, where to fix?

TheCheesehead

Hi,
I my Canon Rebel XSi just fell out of my backpack, cracking the LCD, it's not viewable now. Everything else is working, and it still takes pictures. Canon gave me an estimate of $190 to fix it. Has anyone else repaired theirs cheaper? Also, do you think I should get it fixed, or the heck with it? I'll be getting a 1DIIN in the next week or so, was going to keep this as a backup until getting a 40D or 5D. Thanks!

Since you're getting a new camera anyways, why not just use the camera w/o chimping?

This place (just did a quick search): http://www.darntoothysam.com/categories/Canon-Digital-Camera-Parts-and-Repair-Service/EOS-SLR-Series/450D-Digital-Rebel-XSi/
Has screens for $105 (if you're feeling brave) and installed for $150.

Ha, ya I know what you mean, use without chimping, tried it today, pretty tough. Old schoolish...hard to get used to. Lot of my shots are low and wide, shooting blind and it's nice to see what is getting in the shot. I also use the blown out highlight warning on the LCD...damn primadonna rookies!
