I just talked to the place where I purchased the camera. They said that they would take it back had I not sent in the rebate form to Canon yet, which I already have. So I am gona talk to Canon tomorrow, if no results comes out of that, I will follow your advice Joe.
I was reading "dpreview" today on this topic and there seems to be a problem with dirt in the viewfinder with this camera. There were quite a few people with the same issue.
It is funny that if you register your 5D with canon now, they will give you $100.00 toward a repair and will guarantee that the work will be done within 3 days. I wonder why they are offering this for 5D only?
Please don't get me wrong about the product. This is one of the best camera's I have shot with. I I have shot a little with 1D, mark II and that is a great camera as well, but a little too heavy and bulky for me. So it is sad that it has this issue. Hope canon comes through with a permanent solution, because this can happen over and over again.
