Here's a webpage that shows how to replace the rubber shutter bumper, which is definitely your problem: http://www.geocities.jp/msawa1919/eos/eos000.htm Sure it's in Japanese but the photos tell the story. BTW, this guy repaired a couple of EOS 1000s (Rebel S) for about $25 bucks each. He does understand English too, so if you want yours repaired well, and very cheap, you might contact him about shipping your camera to him. He can only do 1000, 1000S (Rebel, Rebel S) because of their 'relative' simplicity. If you look at those pages though, simple it's NOT. He's incredibly honest and friendly. He replaced the bottom plate on one camera because it had a small piece broken off. No charge. I didn't even ask for him to do it. BTW my EOS 10qd also developed the same problem but was unfixable because of the added complexity. Only the factory can do the more advanced models and the price is way more than a good used one is worth. I picked up a mint 55 for less than the cost of a factory repair, and that's way more camera than the old 10qd. I recently sold the 55 for about the same as I paid for it. I still keep the 1000S because it's not worth selling. It's my backup camera. It is very light and might see use on a trip. Backpacking with something like the EOS 1000 (Rebel) and a 75-300 lens would be like just carrying the 10D body only in weight. Oh the other hand, it might be worth having the factory do a model 630 because there is no other body like it and some people do like them for their unique abilities like focus screen changing. A friend (Hi Chris, you still out there? Email me OK?) said he got a 630 done for about $150. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography: http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits: http://www.easternbeaver.com/ * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
