Re: EOS 21 segments vs. 35 segments

Tom, I think that increasing the number of segments is: a) a commercial reason, makes a lot of rumour to speak about 35 segments, 45 AF points and so on. b) brands are trying to make cameras more and more fail proof for consumer use and fast shooting. If people can manage to have the 90% of their

Hello All My 430 EZ has suddenly developed a fairly serious problem, namely that it cannot be shutdown. I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem? It may of course simply be a broken switch, although it doen't feel like it. Is this a common problem and if so how easy is it to fix.? I am slightl
