Hello all -
I bought a used 5D classic on these forums about 3 years ago and it's been a fine camera, but it's developed a couple of issues. First, the LCD will periodically become distorted after taking a shot and is corrected by giving the camera body a good bump or jolt to the side. It's as if there is a loose connection somewhere. The second issue is that the camera will read that the battery level is low even with fresh batteries. I've tried many different batteries and the issue still occurs.
Anyhow, I'm curious how much repairs might run if I were to send the body into Canon, assuming they even service these older bodies. The alternative I'm looking at is to purchase a refurb 5D II or III. I suppose I could send the 5D body in for credit through the loyalty program, or I could send in one of my old film Rebels and sell the 5D on Ebay with full disclosure on its issues.
Appreciate your thoughts on my dilemma. The camera still produces wonderful images when it's working, but it seems to be working less and less these days.
