Canon 5D Mirror Death

    Just sharing a recent horrifc experience - over the easter long weekend, my camera decided to die...I had one shot left on the CF card and for no reason the viewfinder went black, at first I thought it was the lens and on removing it my mirror decided to jump from the camera onto the ground - the fact I was at a footie match didnt help but i found it easily...

    At first I thought the camera was dead (and was looking forward to treating myself to a MKII ;)) but after reading online it appears to be a 5D fault...luckily I happen to be working right beside the canon office in Brisbane so dropped it it and have just got it back complete with shiny new Mirror at no cost...At first they said it would take between 4-6 weeks as it had to be sent to Sydney but just a week later its back as good as new...Cant fault Canon customer service there...
