Correct there Paul. It happend to Erin, i didi not beleive her, just thought she had a setting wrong, but then it happened to me, with fresh batteries, chargables and fresh liths.
Totally dead, nothing worked, then it didi then it didn;t. No af no metering, then it would then it shut down on its own, etc. The repair estimate is wriiten up so that its difficult to follow, and it takes little to confuse me. I'm really not sure what repairs are for the camera, or lens, as they both refer to "boards" and "circutry" Thus my call to them.:-) I';ll dedide after they call back but i think i may fix it and hope to get that money back, and at least sell a working camera. If the FA 70-200 is really $250 to fix, i won't bother, as they can be found for 1/2 that, and sell as a parts lens Dave Quoting Paul Stenquist <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > The only "known flaw" that I'm aware of is that they act flaky when the > voltage gets low, and they don't like it when the batteries in the grip > are not matched well with those in the body.
