I agree that the more you pay for something, the more you want to baby it however I am also of the opinion that things are made for us to USE so I USE my cameras and if they happen to get damaged, I feel bad but get them repaired or replaced. Its the price you pay for playing the game whether its photography or sports whatever, nothing in this life is cheap anymore.

No quote yet. I called my camera shop yesterday, and they said they have yet to hear from Canon, but they'll call me right away. Although it has been a week since I dropped it off at the camera shop, Canon has probably had the camera for no more than a few days.
I really need the Camera for an event on April 27th, too. If the G2 isn't back by then, I'm going to need to use a .8MP Mavica! I don't think its looking too good for that deadline. I could be stuck popping floppies.

Hi everyone,
Yeah, what is it with dropping the camera once you have it in a bag? Mine was accidentially pushed out of my camera bag last week - causing a crack and a few scatches - nothing more thank goodness. So can you buy the back side as a plastic spare? That would be really good. Silly me for taking the camera back to the pub with me after a concert! hahaha! Serves me right. Out with the superglue methinks. Waiting to hear back from Canon Australia to see what can be done. Urgh! More money!

Maybe your point is that if you had a Nikon ..... I also find the crack issue unacceptable, and although I recognise Canon digital quality I'm sure Nikon will catch up. And the D100 is the first step !!

Good Luck!

Hi there,
Make sure to call them daily and hound them. I shipped my camera off two weeks ago, and called them a week ago inquiring on the status. They took my phone number and said, 'We'll call you back'. Days passed and no call, so after four or five persistent calls on my part, I finally got an answer today. They told me they were awaiting my approval to go ahead with repairs! Ah! I couldn't believe it! This was after days of "Computers are down" and other worthless replies from them. But my G1 was out of warranty, so maybe you won't have this problem. And hopefully, your camera won't completely die on you two months after the warranty expires!

Not yet. I'll post about it here as soon as I do. They're probably swamped with cracks!

Here is a picture of the visible damage. I used it like this for a couple of months without any problems. Hitting the camera with a horseshoe is finally what caused the flash to stop working.

I just have to ask this question...How did the horseshoe hit the G2?

I think you should call Canon and find out what's going on with your camera. That's what I did when I sent it in the first time for repair anyway. Did you send it to the Service Center in Illinois? If so, the number is 630-250-6500.
