Re: Canon eos-m. I cleaned sensor. Camera died

It was too much coincidence that camera died exactly in the same second I choose that function.
It was just that, a coincidence. That dead M that I told you about in my last post decided to come back to life. I just ran a sensor clean on it twice and it is still fine.
Actually I did not saw sensor cleaning, as I should. In the moment I press clean sensor, instead of having notification that sensor was cleaning, camera shut off.
Untill them camera was working flawlessly as are their 2 sisters.
I guess it is conceivable there was electric discharge that somehow damaged electronic circuit or component.
Camera did not suffer impact prior to the event. Was not subject to moisture, no drop of water or even working in raining wet weather.
Things die. Often without warning or any apparent problem. Even brand new items can be defective right out of the box. Stuff happens.
Yes camera was cheaper back them because Canon did a certain number of cameras. But demand was much weaker than expected, probably due to cell phones demands.
And the fellows at Canon just offload the cameras like crazy.
By that time a point and shoot was around 300,250. For barely more 120 a dslr was a bargain.
Thank you for your message.
