I’m taking a first look at Nikon as an option since I got a $300 estimate back from Canon repair. I think I’d be better served by putting that money toward a new body rather than fixing what I have. Since I don’t have a lot tied up in lenses, I could make the jump if I felt Nikon could serve me well.
Before you go sour on the repair quote you should go and see how much the camera is selling for used. I did that with one of my D1x's (repair costing 396.00 usd) but after looking at the used market, used ones are selling for $900.00. After the fix it should be like a brand new camera so it was worth it to me to get it fixed. Even if I sell it for 800.00 I would be making 100% on my money.

I never intended to hijack/resurrect this thread so I'll take Avi's advice and start a new one. The reason I posted on this one is that it has a lot of great info' on the models and really do think it should be stuck.
