Hello. I was out last night and the button in order to take a photo got stuck in. I could take a photo as it only got stuck in half way but I couldn't focus/change any settings. Ive had my 60D 1 week and 1 day and im just wondering if its a common problem? Im going to see how it is over the next week and if it keeps doing it ile take it back. I bought it from digitalrev though so it has a long way to go back :/
 
gotta say seems very strange that, ive had mine a while and rattled off 785 pictures this morning doing some photos at Cadwell for the bikes and a fair few thousand prior and no problems so far
 
Okay, but you have had it 8 days. Send it back under the 14 day rule, because its been opened you will have to pay a 15% re stocking fee of £83. (Ouch). Best bet. Contact digital rev and ask advise then get a quote from the uk repair centre. Will just cost postage. You WILL get the repair refunded but as you say, you need the funds to repair it in the first place. Explain all this to DIgital Rev and see what they say. Worst thing you can do is nothing.

Yeah ive sent them a ticket/message.
 
I had a similar problem with my 60D. It was fixed under warranty although it still occasionally recurs in the sense that if I hold the button down to take several shots it takes an extra one after I've released the button. A bit annoying but not a major problem.
 
Digitalrev have stock that is from china that's why it's cheaper, not UK stock
 
Never heard of them doing that before, Only problem i've ever heard of is the card slot failing.
 
Buy it genuinely from amazon or in shops don't trust other online retailers..if Anything goes wrong cannon won't want to know because its warranty is in china not in UK :)
 
Because he won't get that problem lol

Nikons don't tent to go wrong like those plastic cannons
 
Nikon don't make tents mate, canon however do make some superb cameras.

It may be just a case of a bit of dust or grit stuck down the button. Turn the camera upside down and gently flick the button, it may just dislodge and spit whatever is jamming it out.

I've had Canons for years and never heard of your problem.
 
"Cannon- cheap plastic "

Canon 40d 'Body material' - 'Magnesium alloy'

Plonker.

Have you had any response from them yet ?

Personally, if you've only had it 8 days, I'd be asking for a replacement body...

keep the thread updated
