Hi All,
The pins in the CF card slot in my Canon 5D MK II recently became bent so I sent the camera off to Canon Germany for repair and today I got a quote for the repair back at €500 ($700).
This seems kind of expensive to me, especially considering if I was to order a third party CF assembly myself from eBay it would cost around $20.
They are saying the PCB assembly needs to be replaced, which seems weird to me, especially as the camera is functioning.
Are Canon just trying their luck to see how much I will pay or is could it really be necessary for both the PCB and CF assembly to be replaced?
I have included the bill on this post, which is in German.
