RIP 20D

Well, at just a hair over 80,000 frames, I’ve officially shelved my venerable Canon EOS 20D body.  To be totally truthful, this wasn’t a voluntary move.  My 20D decided to die yesterday – the shutter button is stuck in the half-press mode, making some functions impossible (like viewing anything on the LCD, changing ISO, etc.).  Since I’ve got the CERM Night Shoot this weekend, shipping the body off to Canon was out of the question.  So after I tried to repair it – I had it apart, but couldn’t easily get to the switch and connections – I bit the bullet, and took advantage of Best Buy’s 24 month no financing charge deal and picked up a brandy new Canon EOS 40D.  At some point in the future, the 20D will go off to Canon’s NJ repair facility to get fixed, and will assume a backup role, so she’s not entirely done yet.  But tomorrow, I hope to get out and play with the new toy…stay tuned…
