Canon Service Notice: EOS 5D

[clemmb]

I just received this in my e-mail. Anyone heard of this issue?


"We have discovered that, in rare instances, the
main mirror of some EOS 5D Digital SLR cameras
may detach due to deterioration in the strength of the
adhesive. Accordingly, we would like to convey the
details and our service policy concerning this phenomenon. "

Heard A LOT of 5D mirror detach cases, not a surprise at all. Actually, I'm surprised that Canon just addressed this issue after 3 years of the introduction of 5D!!

I only know 2 people personally that own 5Ds and both of them have had this issue.

[Colin]

I have not had this issue, yet. I guess it's something to look for in the future...

[Keith B]

I thought they were talking about my MkII when I got the email. I never even had the MkI.

Bryan had already written about that in his news section.


Colin, if I were you, I'd send my 5D to canon for reinforcement right away (assuming they accept cameras which are not damaged yet too).
