Hi,
I don't know if anyone can help with this, but I thought I'd post up anyway
I took my 5D out to take some snowy shots for the mother yesterday morning, and after firing off around 5 shots it died. I haven't been able to turn it on since. The temperature was -7 or so, but my Yashica Mat 124g twin lens jobbie handled it fine - admittedly though, the only electric part there is the light meter, but it seemed to be fine!
I've checked and recharged/replaced all batteries including the little watch battery that keeps the time, and it's still dead. Memory card is also fine, and I've cleaned all the contacts. I didn't drop it or get it wet/snowy, and there's no condensation anywhere that I can see. Any suggestions before I send it back to Canon yet again?
Cheers,
Tom
