Hi... New and a question!

Hi, my name is Kari and I am very happy to have found this board.  I have a Canon 5D Mark III  It has started to have the shutter "stick" closed when I am taking pictures.  I don't have any camer a stores near me and I was wondering if anyone had any reliable places that I could send my "baby" haha.  

Thank you very much and I look forward to reading all of your posts.

I think people might need to know what country you live in before they can give you any advice.

Hi. Thanks. I am in the US and I live in NY

I don't live in your area, but I recall Canon has a factory service center in New Jersey -- probably the best/nearest location to get the camera properly serviced.
