It cost me $215 (with taxes and shipping) to have the CF assembly of my 7D replaced.

This is why all dSLRs that do below 8 fps or so should immediately start getting SD cards instead of CF.  When I got my 5D many years ago I bent a pin trying to insert a new CF card.  Luckily I was able to bend the pin back into place myself and have had years of no problems.  I then used my Drebel to "break in" the pin slots on my new CF card instead of using the 5D to break it in.

Computer drives moved away from the parelell interface with many pins years ago and so should dSLRs.  SD cards are fast and have high capacity.
