Yes
Agh, my new 40D died today! :gag: :bonk: :bang:

I was grabbing shots of a *edit* chaffinch that was peering through the window at me when the camera just died!

Only got it Friday!

I've requested a return from the supplier I got it from, so I hope they are helpful and send me a new one ASAP!

Oh and here is the little chap before my camera died. :D

Yes....lovely cock chaffinch. What has actually happened to the 40d, Andy? ... did it just turn off or what?
 
Yep -male Chaffinch. Bummer Andy! Have you done all the obvious checks battery etc?
 
Mate, i really feel for you.
Hope it all gets sorted real soon.
Dean:)
Actually, now i look at him, that Chaff looks a bit evil, maybe he zapped it with his laserbeam eyes.

Me too! I played with my 400D afterwards and it didn't feel the same anymore!

The bird is a nutter, it keeps attacking the window! I'm guessing it can see its reflection and is defending its territory!

There is also a pair of Blackbirds setting up their nest in a bush near to this window and my guess is the Chaffinch is abit upset about it!

I have birds nesting in a bush next to my parking space, and they have decided that my car's door mirror is the perfect place to perch and have a poo, all over my door. Every day now the shiny blue door looks like someone has chucked a gallon of white/green/brown paint all over it.

But they also seem to be pecking at their reflections. Apparently attaching a plastic bag to the mirror will stop them, haven't tried it yet. Either that or I am buying myself a decoy hawk....
 
Spoke to the supplier and they have given me a return authorisation and I returned the camera by RMSD today. They said I should have a replacement on Thursday :woot:

It cost £21.45 to send :gag: but the supplier are refunding me £10 even though their T&C state returns are at customer expense! :clap:

So far so good. If I get it by Thursday then I will be a very happy bunny.
 
thats awful!!
but good that you are getting a replacement, rightly so!!
was it warehouse express by any chance?
 
ABC Digital Cameras.

To be honest they are pretty good. I received the original camera next day, free delivery where most others at a similar price were charging for delivery. I'd read a couple of reviews about them and all were positive so I gave them a try.
 
yuo'd think that becuae your forking out quite a bit of mooola, that they'd throw in free brown nosing service, wouldnt ya?
lol
 
I'm real sorry, its gut wrenching when s**t like this happens, good luck and please keep us all posted on your progress??
