A disturbing buzz

As we've been editing the video from Andy and Ingrid's wedding, I've noticed a loud and annoying buzz coming from our video camera. Worse, the noise shows up throughout the video footage we took of the wedding reception. Apparently the video camera suffered some traumatic experience just before Andy and Ingrid cut the wedding cake, and the resulting buzz was picked up by its internal microphone.
This causes a couple of problems for us. First, what to do with the camera? It's over four years old now, and well past its warranty period. I have no idea how expensive these things are to repair; I hope it's not one of those better-to-buy-a-new-one-than-repair-it things. Digital video cameras have come down in price, but not that much. Second, what to do about the video footage? We're working on making a DVD of the footage, and that buzz is truly distracting -- not exactly the sort of thing you want preserved for posterity. I'll have to see if there's some sort of audio editor that can filter out that specific sound.
Not to be a pest (okay, so I'm a pest), but when WILL all those wonderful digital photos be up on the web? Fourth of July, Chicago wedding, Portland trip ... inquiring minds want to know.
