I just replaced my clock battery prior to my trip to HK a week ago

 

[raydio]

How expensive/cheap is the clock battery? I'm thinking that mine will have to be replaced soon too.

 

[Silas]

I bought it from a neighbourhood shop and it cost $1.50 if i remember correctly.

Saw a post earlier about $21 cleanings for my (very filthy) 5D sensor. Where would I go for that -- any Canon store? Just seems like a steal -- I had it in my head that even DIY kits cost quite a bit more, at least in the US, where I'm from.

The service center at keppel bay tower offers that service

Just the service centre does cleaning.

Any 5D comrades here use lensbaby lenses? I'm thinking of getting either a composer pro with sweet 35 optic or a control freak for use with my 5D. Anyone with experience to share?

Hi fellow 5D users,
Need some advice. Just bought a Notebook with Windows 7 . Problem I faced
is that I uploaded EOS Utility to tether but when plugged in the 5D a prompt came saying
'No Driver Found' and no connection. No problems with my old PC with Window XP.

Could it be camera or new PC problem ? Appreciate some feedback thanks.

try download the latest version from Canon website? No driver found usually indicates that the notebook cannot detect your cam without proper drivers for the cam.
