Hi Javier, I don't know if this is true. I had a couple of EOS 5QD bodies that I used to use and when the main control dials both failed at the same time. I had them back in my hands repaired and working perfectly in 3 days, one they fixed for me on the spot (after nicely asking them so I could shoot a job that weekend), well an hour actually. All the other film bodies I have owned have been EOS 1/1N/1NRS, EOS 1V family bodies and they never acted any differently toward me or the cameras or lenses (EF 50 1.4USM, EF 85 1.8USM, EF 300 4L IS, EF 300 2.8L) I've had serviced. They have always been fast and courteous and I've never had to go back for a repair that was not completed.
