Ok so I am over here for work and with my 1Ds2. I was on a paid tour of Delhi and it jammed, giving me Err99 codes. I found the local Canon service center and they directed me to take it to the level 4 Master Canon Service center across town. I put it in there yesterday around 4pm. They diagnosed it that night as needing a new motherboard. It was done at 10am this morning. Fixed for around 10,000 rupees overnight. Very professional staff. I couldnt be happier.

Great level of service just when you need it. How much is that in real money?

Yes, Indian servility is world-renowned and praised.
Congrats on such a rapid turnaround AND at what ? - $200!!! - !! amazing value

It's enough to want me to take broken Canon gear across their to get fixed.

LOL, that was funny! Reminds me of Eurosport Customer Service. After a couple of days you just give up. No wonder we have so much outsourcing.

Agreed the OP came up

Don't try to confuse me with the facts, my mind is already made up.

I wonder in a country as poor as India, How many professional level camera bodies are floating around? Perhaps the tech was waiting for a job to come in and that's why it was so fast.
