I decided, whilst trying to get back on my feet, to have a foray into Canon.

I duly purchased a little used Canon 50D and three lenses. It had around 12,000 shots on it.

After 7 months of daily, but light use, and another 6,000 shots I got a fatal error.

Cost of repair for the fatally jammed shutter? £275. Trade in value (if fixed) £220.

Cost to replace £350 with another used body (possibly to suffer the same fate)

I have done neither.

Having spoken to a fellow Canon user; "I've got two bodies like that in a draw somewhere"
