I know, it’s quite scary - wish I’d done more research now :-\.  I bought mine for the exact same reason as you did :lol:.  What’s worrying me is I got mine off eBay - I’m not sure what cover I’d have if something went wrong ph34r. Fingers crossed! Good luck for tomorrow!

You should be OK, you've had yours for quite some time now.

My camera looks pretty pathetic now. My new found hobby has also come to a very abrupt end  :'(

I’d be just as upset - I love my camera, it’s very addictive.  Are you sure Harvey hasn’t been plotting behind your back? :005:

The flash on my 350d stopped working about 4 months after I bought it, rather frustratingly as my husband was on his way to a stag do which meant no night time photos. I took it back to John Lewis and they said they would have to send it  away to be repaired but I complained and said I needed it for the wedding and they gave me the shop model (with my lens). That one's been fine and it was 2 years ago now.
You should be able to exchange it though if it's only a couple of weeks old.

I've had my 400d for 2 years nearly - not one problem - just the luck of the draw I guess :dunno:

almost the same here with my 350d, canon do make good cameras and if they do go wrong, they also do fix them, it does seem there is a bad bunch of 1000d's which is a real shame, the shop should swap without any problem, and if it happens to someone else who's camera is out of the 28 day etc ... then canon will repair it

try not to be too disparaged, and let us know how you get on#

I went in with my OH, as I was not trusted to go into the shop on my own.  ph34r So it was a straight swap  :'( The 450d had gone up in price as well, as when I bought my camera it was £469.00- it's now £599.99. If it had been the original price I think I would have bartered a bit.  ;) 

Just need to get lessons now. I saw on another thread that alot of you don't use the auto focus and just use the manual focus.  :o :o :o You need glasses to make out what I've taken a picture of when I use  the manual focus.  :005: :005:

Jennybee- that 55-250mm lens is fab!  :D Had a practice with it with Harvey racing around the field. It can also be doubled up as a spying device so I could see what bits of rubbish Harvey was picking up at the other end of the field. It's also very good in the house for reading the teletext on the TV if you're far away and haven't got your glasses  :005: :005:
