I have a Canon 60D that failed to function at all on a recent trip. I sent it in to a repair facility that estimated $92.00 to replace the bottom pcb circuit board. They responded that a Canon technician did replace it but the main circuit board is not responding and must be replaced for a cost of $269. When I said this is too much they responded that if I paid by check the price would drop 20% to $215.20.

Another important point: I have already replaced this camera with a new Canon 80D so it would be a backup/second camera. Therefore, I am inclined to replace it with a newer, low activation new or used camera as it is 5-1/2 years old with about 22,000 shutter activations (they say.) Also, I cannot be sure it will work after they replace the main circuit board. On the other hand this is still a pretty good camera that I could have for less money than anything else I could buy, new or used.

Anyone have experience with repaired cameras that they can share with me? Or other thoughts?
