My GF's 50D has an Err30. Is there a Canon service center in or near the Seattle area? I tried looking online but could not find one.

Thanks!

I think the only 2 service centers are in Irvine, CA and somewhere on the East Coast.

Nope :( Best get friendly with UPS...we don't have any nearby service centers. You could have Camera Techs out in Ballard take a look, but I suspect they're gonna tell you to send it off to Canon, too.

Hmmm well like I know we have a Canon center here in Hawaii, but I don't think they actually do repairs there. Is there any place like that in Seattle?

Would that void the warranty?

If I remember Err 30 is a shutter problem so I think Canon service centre would be best in the end..;)

Just looking at it wouldn't; I can't say whether actually having them do any work would or not.

I just got that err30 on my 50D with over 50K in actuations. The warranty had expired the previous month, I told the Canon customer service person that and she said to send it anyway. I sent it on a Tuesday afternoon . . . called them on Friday and they confirmed replacing the shutter as well as doing maintenance work (what they do to make sure it's up to Canon's specs) and I got it back the following Monday. Yes, they covered it under warranty even though they didn't have to. I was told that the shutter was a $180 part. Canon covering it under warranty confirms why I chose Canon!
