I just returned from my first cruise (New York to Canada) which was a lot of fun. Unfortunately when I was getting on one of the tour buses the screen on my Canon 60D hit the corner of the seat, no the screen was not folded in and yes it cracked (NOT FUN). Spider cracks in the middle of the bottom of the screen. Fortunately it still words but I need to get in fixed.

Any suggestions on where to get it fixed? It was purchased from B & H Photo and is about 1.5 yrs old. Thank you for all your help.

There's a Canon Factory Service Center in Jamesburg, NJ that will fix this for you.
The link will guide you to help in getting you an estimate and a work order.

John, thank you. I contacted them and will send out my camera on Monday. Costly dumb mistake on my part.

Sorry about your camera, Rich. My 5D fell off my tripod a year ago and cracked the screen (and broke the electronics). I took it to a local repair shop who fixed it, but it took two tries. I've since dropped a lens and sent it directly to Canon (as you're doing with your camera). That fix may have been more expensive that a local repair, but it was very fast (< 7 days total) and easy.
