Canon had it for a month - through Photo-tech.... RIght about cost and labor,etc - at least ath their prices... I set it in a camera bag that doubled as a fridge bag - forgetting that I had used it for food the night before - some ice had melted and the inside was wet _ which i didn't notice... until an hour or so later... but worse, I was drying out the battery compartment with cloth and a thread caught on a piece of metal and pulled it out of alignment.
