Camera body (EOS 60D) does not function properly. Intermittent power failure, unable to access software, unable to take photographs, unable to read SD card, unable to write to SD card. I replaced battery with another canon battery. I've changed lenses. I changed SD cards. I've tried many combinations and cannot get the camera to either turn on or take photos. No error codes. Only the battery indicator will display on the LCD screen. I've tried leaving the battery out for days hoping it would "reset". No luck. The camera has never been dropped and exposed to moisture. It has taken approximately 2,000 photos. Now, it doesn't operate at all. I've done a lot of research and I'm afraid the main board is broken. The camera is almost new and has not been used very much.
I called Canon and was told to send it in for repair. As of this moment, the camera IS working again. I never know when it will work or not. I'm afraid Canon cannot repair the camera body when it is working properly (such as now). I was told the minimum cost will be $200.00 + shipping to look at the camera. I was also told to just carry a backup camera so I can take photos when this camera fails. I'm not a professional. Just a Dad wanting to take some family pictures. I'm not happy about this camera or Canon's advice. The camera is BARELY out of the one year warranty. I think I'm burying a Nikon soon.
