Camera Repair Parts Sources
A Portland Oregon camera store with in-house repair shop identifies which manufacturers are most helpful when a customer needs repair assistance. ""The quality of your manufacturer will affect your repair experience. Premium manufacturers provide excellent support, reasonable parts prices, and responsive service as well as comprehensive warranty support and recall programs. Premium Manufacturers are Canon, Nikon, Pentax and Olympus. Other manufacturers provide less support and sometimes charge prohibitively high prices for their replacement parts. Other manufacturers are Sony, Kodak, Panasonic, Casio, Samsung, Konica-Minolta and many more."
Camera manufacturers can usually supply spare parts for at least five years, but don't count on it. I've personally had positive experiences in buying external replacement parts directly from Canon and Fuji.
Many camera repair shops will not sell you spare parts from their inventory. Doing so deprives them of a future repair job. Sometimes your only choice is cannibalizing another identical camera for the part you need.

Camera Stores
Search for specific camera model, using phrases like "as-is", "parts camera", and "broken camera". Warning. Because the same part often fails on identical cameras, you run the significant risk of buying a second camera with the same problem. eBay is probably the least desirable camera parts source.
