Bummer.. Yeah, things like that can happen to all brands. On the Fredmiranda site there were two guys who bought Canons and they had issues also.. One guy figured he was just unlucky and bought another Canon.. He had more problems, got rid of it and said he wouldn't buy another.
But everyone has to understand that any manufacturer of something as complex as this (and cars/trucks too) can turn out a lemon.. It happens.. That extra 3 hour drive though had to be frustrating for you. I wouldn't be happy either. Now I just hope that Canon gives you good service.
Stetson, I'm not going to be doing any RAW conversions.. I'm just not that into all the minutae of serious photography, not yet anyway.....
VTi, you will no doubt provide better pix than I will simply because you know what you're doing. I have tons to learn yet before I can get a shot worth really looking at. But at least the machinery has the potential and I cannot blame the camera anymore...
