This is Canon's set repair fee and they fix everything that is wrong with it - whether you tell them to or not. The problems I had were: 1. bent mirror arm (this prompted the repair) 2. built in flash was not popping up correctly since about 2006 3. compact flash card ejector button was broken since about 2006 I got it back about 3 weeks from the day I sent it to Canon. It works perfectly now! I just had my 6MP Digital Rebel (bought in Sept 2004)repaired in February 2008 by Canon and it cost me $195.00, plus shipping (US).

Just listened to the show. A few weeks ago I found a site that listed the average death of each canon. It went a little like this: XTi - 50k 30D - 150k 40D - 150k 5D - 200k 1D Mk III - 300k-500k (don't really remember) 1Ds Mk III - 300k-500k (don't really remember) Just thought I would throw in my bit of knowledge!
