My 300D has just gone down for a six week repair, after warranty. Shutter lock. Only thing I can think of saying right now is @)$* %#(*@#^!

IF you ever need to freak out, do that in the off topic section

I was freaking out over photography so I thought it'd be appropriate here )%&@#&*!

freaking out like that at the APF is off topic..

6 WEEKS? What, why so long?

[E-Diddy!]

Shutter's locked, it'll only open 1/3rd of the way. It'll take 2 weeks to give me an estimate (though that one might be because it'll take my camera shop that long to ship it).

6 weeks? ouch......I would have the same reaction!

Is that polynesian for: I am still happy because it's a sunny day?

That's very long I think I could not do that time without my camera..

Yeah, another satisfied DSLR user. Mine just came back from the fourth rapair and I have the feeling that it still won't work like it should.

Yep!

I have my slides (but no way to scan them yet).

[HelmutS]

I wonder how long Nikon would take for the same repair. Not trying to create any brand-flamewars but all the storys about Canon Service I hear online are decidedly bad and this one fits right in.

[Kwashiorkor]

@cja: Thanks very much but when I can finally convince my damn dealer that he should really take this thing back I'll get the analog version of this, well, "camera" instead and keep on shooting slides.

That's why you need a backup camera, at least a P&S

[Kwashiorkor]

I have one... well, two . An analog Minolta Dynax 60 and a digital Dimage 5 which I gave my girlfriend.

But the Tokina AT-X 2.8/300mm is so big that you nearly can't hold the combination of it and the Dynax 60 without battery grip. And the Dynax 60 doesn't have one.

That's why I want to get the analog Dynax 7 plus battery grip.

I have two more cameras but I can't fit my lenses on them . An Exa 1b and a Zenit E. Both being more than 20 years old .
