Hi Patrick
I would recommend sending Royal Mail Special Delivery as this
Includes insurance should the camera get lost in the post.

Hi Ron
I have all ready to post and is it the norm to send it by registered post?
Kind regards
Patrick.

Hi Mark
To clean and service your EOS 30D would be £105 plus

the shutter and motors as required, a full clean and
recalibration and a sensor clean with a six month warranty.
Hope this helps. Please quote this number when sending in M170

Hi
I want to send you my 40D for a replacement shutter and my 580ex2 for a replacement bulb.
I would like to post this to you today and was wondering could you give me a job number.
Kind regards
Patrick.

Hi,

I have a 30d and there seem to be two problems with it:

1. the sensor is dirty
(i have tried to clean it but still dirt remains)

2. shutter is slow to release after focusing.

I have taken about 50,000 pics probably. and its 6 years old (but you know that).

How much will this cost to repair please?

Hi Shane
At that shot count this camera will probably need
a new shutter and service. The cost of this would
be £105 plus return postage and VAT. Please send in
quoting this number M169
Regards
Ron

Sorry for long delay – will be sending in the 40D today, but the 500D seems to be behaving itself as of late, so will see how things go with that!

I have owned my trusty Canon 40D for four years now and have taken around 80,000 images. I noticed on Sunday that the shutter was slower than before, but then it corrected itself. To me it just does not feel right.

Hi Callum
Is this with any lens, if so you could try cleaning
the AF sensor. Get a blower brush then carefully raise
the mirror, this will also bring the sub mirror up. You
will then see the af sensor at the bottom of the mirror
box. Give this a gentle blow. Sometimes dust can get in this
and cause an AF problem. If this does not cure then it will
have to come to us. The cost of repair and service would be
£105 plus return postage and VAT. Please quote this number M168
Great shots on you website, especially the TT
