Canon had it for a month - through Photo-tech....
RIght about cost and labor,etc - at least ath their
prices...

I set it in a camera bag that doubled as a fridge bag -
forgetting that
I had used it for food the night before - some ice had
melted and the
inside was wet _ which i didn't notice... until an hour or
so later...

but worse, I was drying out the battery compartment with
cloth and
a thread caught on a piece of metal and pulled it out of
alignment.
I'm an idiot, I know...

maybe its a sign I should go to DSLR damn the debt
