I have been using Canon DSLRs for 7/8 years now and have been through a few of them. It have only changed through desire for new toys rather than problems with the cameras. I have not had a camera fail on me yet and from what I can gather faults aren't that common. I think that unfortunately Canon the response you got from Canon is what I would have expected and what you woud have got from any other manufacturer. You coud try and argue that although out of warranty it is fair to expect the camera to last longer than it has (fit for purpose) and see what they say. You might get lucky and find that they reduce the cost of the repair but I somewhat doubt it.
