In light of this post I feel I have to share a guilty secret I have been hiding for many years.
Having always been a dedicated Canon user I managed to wait a whole 4 weeks before blowing my entire savings on a T90 when they were introduced - desparate to impress my mates I spent hours demonstrating the impressive 5fps wind (without film as I couldn't afford any after buying the body) and the accompanying "Canon Clatter" shutter noise to anyone slow enough not to run away.
Unsurprisingly this was fine until a crunch and deathly silence shortly ensued - off to Canon went the body and cue the call from a Canon service engineer.
"When we downloaded the frame count it read 8000 frames have been taken, in view of it's age we find this a little surprising"!
"My, my, how can that be - I simply don't understand it officer"
Amazingly I received a warranty replaced body within 48 hrs, good old Canon, but lets face it haven't we all had a play once in a while?
