Body maintenance fees

[shendeerzi]

Hi, anyone who has send in their body for maintence? What is the average cost?

I wish i can ans your question but i haven't send in my 10D for general servicing yet. Planning to send it in by mid year, going to request for cleaning of focusing screen, viewfinder, CMOS sensor and replacement of shutter.

Estimated price should be a few hundred if u're including replacement of shutter.

Only $60 to replace the shutter? :bigeyes:

I should have sold my 350D at a much higher price. :bsmilie:

Quoted from Canon, because they tell me shutter rated at only 40,000. So $60 seems reasonable to me when they told me so.

Then does anyone know shutter life count for 10D?

$25 is quite a reasonable price, considering it as a general maintence after usage for 2 years.

Depends on the number of jobs before you. Normally if your equipment needs opening up, this might take up to a week or more. But if it's for CCD cleaning, it could take less than 20mins. I had mine done in under 10mins (Maybe I got lucky as it was during a weekday during office hours)! :bsmilie:

Parts are cheap. Labour expensive. Labour charge is at least $120 if the camera need to be disassembled for repair.

For exterior repair like replacement of LCD cover and hotshoe, the labour is free; parts charge only.

Charges for calibration is :sweat: I reckon. :cry:

I assume warranty is no longer valid. For $300, go for it if you're planning to continue to use your D70s. Else, have a cam, but cannot use also no point. :bsmilie:

thanx dude!

Then in this case, what's $300 for the sentimental value that it holds? ;p
