Re: 350D shutter button/power fault

Greetings fellow 350D owner/user.

If the problem returns, the best method to determine a course of action would be to eliminate as many variables as possible.

However, given the age of our cameras, I would be remiss if I didn't point out: our time has value.  Repair of an existing 350D could easily stretch into the "multiple hours" stage without necessarily solving the problem.

On the other hand, used 350D's or 400D's can be found for very little money.  Were my 350D break today, my plan would be to look very closely at the current Ebay and Craigslist offerings for 400D's or to see what Canon offers for trading in the 350D using their Customer Loyalty program.  I think you may be surprised at how far a limited budget can go.
