Although the camera still *seemed* functional, suddenly part way through the fourth quarter nothing showed in the viewfinder.

Got the camera home, pulled the lens, and found the mirror loose and flopping around inside the camera body.

Canon has responded to my email, and is emailing me a shipping label:

"...Canon USA will repair and reinforce the mirror portion of affected EOS 5D cameras free of charge. Canon will also cover the cost of shipping and handling in connection with this repair..."

So I suppose that's the good (?) news.

Does anyone have a Canon body they'd be willing to loan me until this comes back from repair?

Glazer's wants $175.00 per day for an EOS 5D Mk II :-/

Unfortunately the world isn't going to stop and wait.
