will it cost more to repair it after it fails or make no difference in the repair cost. In the case of cameras it usually costs less to have them
fixed before the catastrophic failure. But that's just my experience.

I have had my *istD for about 10 months now and the other day the I got a proverbial "funny" noise. It sounds like the shutter is making a rough zip-like sound (though I suppose it could be the mirror). Exposure still seems to be OK, but I don't feel comfortable about the mechanical stability of the camera (quite apart from strange looks from people nearby). This is no longer a stealth camera <g>.
Has anyone heard of this? Should I send it off to Pentax for repair? I am in Vancouver, so I have to send it to Ottawa for repair - any thoughts on packaging it safely?
Thanks for any help
