If the expensive and latest technology of digital SLR cameras broken, and the first obvious thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and bring your camera to your nearest branch. For example, if you Canon EOS will be broken and you're in the U.S., you can send camera to Canon USA. Telephone numbers and other contact details for the improvement of facilities and services that are usually found on the company website so get the contact information should not be that hard.
If you live in a far remote place in a third world country with no known corporate offices nearby the camera, you still can FedEx the camera to the repair center. Make sure you include your credit card number so they can charge for their services. Another option would send it directly to the importing company.
If you are into vintage camera and you have a 35mm camera and do not mind spending 200-300 dollars to repair services, you can send the camera back to Pentax or Nikon or trusted camera maker. Know, however, that there are some producers who do not want to bother with a model that more than 20 years. These people will just tell you that there are no more parts available for your vintage camera models. If this happens, you have to go to the store a special camera that was willing to revive your camera from the beginning or improvise to make it work. I recommend Professional Camera Repair, located in New York City.
For those who have a Hasselblad, I suggest you deal with Gil Ghitelman and consider sending your camera to him. He is the go-to person Hasselblad in my book because he hired his own people improve his Hasselblad.
If you live in New England, you may have heard Steve Grimes - who live camera only legend in the area. He can help you with all kinds of large format problems and problems with adjusting the machine. He also was not a lens mounting, large format shutter repairs, etc. You can check the website at skgrimes.com and contact him through 401-762-0857. I can not run down all the recommended shop or go-to people in every country, so your best bet would be to ask around and do research on your own where you can get a SLR camera repair service quality in your country. If all else fails and you feel that your camera can be fixed, there is no other choice but to get a new one.
