Well, I got the final word that my camera will cost $218 to repair and send back here.  Ouch. 

[boneaddict]

Don't you mean $600.00 pre owned?

[boneaddict]

I think the going rate for a 40D body is about $600 new.  Haven't bought any recently but I thought thats what I was seeing since the 50 came out

Your right Bone, that could be what it is now. When it was new I think it was a little more.

I think new they were $1100 +

I paid 1599 for mine with a $250 kit lens included...but I was the first one around to have one so i paid the premium. 

Canon service is fast.  They fixed it and put it in the mail yesterday.  It is tracking to be to me tomorrow.  I hope they are flying it in with all the flooding...

You think thats bad, I paid the same amount for the 20D package when it first came out, but like you I was one of the first. M-Ray just picked one up like new for $250

  Yeah I did!  Shawn does this mean you won't be needing my camera anymore? I'll be by to pic it up I'll leave you a computer you can fix!!!  ...not that there is anything I need it for other than taking pics of the flooded rivers! 

[popeshawnpaul]

Yeah, I forgot to tell you that I slipped when out shooting sheep last week with your camera.  Do you want all the pieces or just the main part of the body?

[boneaddict]

I will probably ship mine Monday.  I am hoping for a shoot this weekend.  A few not so crisp shots are better than no shots........

I think we will be making a road trip, I need to get up there and drop off some things for Pope as well.

Hey Bone, have you figured out which way they are out of focus, + or -? You could always try adjusting your diopter to compensate for it, that might get it closer so you can then resharpen them with CS2/CS3?

[rasbo]

you guys keep putting up the pics,my wife likes them.Which means I might get a camera ,

Sweet! I just got me a newly serviced 40D out of this deal!
