Hi, My 70d just came back from being fixed after the dreaded error80 issue - but I'm now paranoid the same thing will happen again! Surely if I am using live view (which seems to burn out the motherboard) the same error will occur? The reason I ask is I have a few trips away I am documenting and once I am in the forest there will be no other option if it fails. Am I paranoid? Has anyone had their 70d fixed? Thanks everyone
I have not had the repair done. The hardest thing is regaining trust in your equipment after a repair. You will have to be pretty unlucky to get two failures in the same camera. I am sure it is possible. I would take the camera out for a test run before you go on your trips to make sure it is working as it should. For some form of insurance, you could always pick up a cheap used second body to take with you. Gary
Thanks GDN. Yes, it is regaining that trust. Rather than buying a cheap body (nothing is cheap here in New Zealand!) I would rather invest in another camera. Right now (with canon's lack of 4k options compared to similar priced brands) I am considering jumping ship. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for response!
