Re: Frustrated with a problematic 7D

The problem with the first frame black, is the shutter mechanism. The reason I know this is when I sent my camera. Because it did what yours did and finally stopped working. I sent it in after warranty and I paid almo0st 300.00 dollars for the repair. when Sony took over KM they sent me a check for the repair, because it was deemed a manufacturing defect. The Fix was to replace the Shutter and the connection cable. Note my repair order from 2006. They replaced the shutter mec. and associated parts, as stated in the repair invoice for parts replaced. Sony told me it was the covered manufacturing defect repair which the covered for 4 years. They returned the money I spent out of pocket.
