Do it Yourself Shutter Replacement + Features

So for those that weren't aware my camera(40D Canon) had been out of commission for a while apparently with a dead shutter, I kept getting ERR99. My warranty had run out as the camera had been bought cheaply as a refurb back in january. So being as silly as I am decided to replace it myself after seeing 40D shutters for sale on ebay for $60, fortunately I was able to complete the repair successfully. I was a little nervous because I hadn't seen any mention from do-it-yourselfers in forums saying that they had completed that sort of repair themselves for that model.(though i did see one that had done it for a 20D and that gave me enough confidence to do it on my own)

This is what my 40D looked like torn down to the shutter.



And now its working like new again, hopefully it continues to


So that out of the way, I'd like to say hello to all of my new watchers and thanks to everyone for the support.
