Hello Kevin, Thanks for the information. Have they ever told you how they go about fixing it? Or just magically it works again? For my wedding work, I have two bodies, in case one goes down. I suspect that if one had to go in for repair and I had a job or two lined up, I would pick up a third. That would give me two with one in repair rotation. I would plan on this no matter what brand I had.
