I bought my camera from US adorama on May 2012. I shot 4.000 shots in 1,5 year and suddenly faced with Err 30 problem. Mailed adorama several times but they gave really poor support, actually no support. I went to local Canon authorized service in Turkey, they changed the shutter and requested 250 usd. After 1,5 years and 2.000 shots again the same problem and they changed the shutter 2nd time. Yesterday I tried to have a shot but again the same issue, maybe just after 3 months and 50-100 more shots. To sum up, at almost 6.000 shots, 3 new shutters failed. All the failures were at critical times like, my wifes important business photo shot, my daughters's birth and my daughter's birthday. I can not tell the frustration I expereinced. I am sure that this failure is a manufacturing problem about the 5d mark 2. I am suspicious about the camera and I will never trust even they fit the 4th new shutter. I think it is not just about the shutter, there should be another main problem. They write 150.000 - 200.000 shots for shutter, it means 600.000 shots for 3 shutters but it failed at just 6.000 shots. If you see my camera you can think that it is brand new, there is no scratch, no drops or etc. I read lot of forums about this issue but Canon does not admit it as a production default. This is my 3rd camera after 500n and elan7 e. I was a Canon loyal but not anymore. I am waiting the service report but I do not think they can offer anything different. If Canon is behind its product, it shoud change it since it is not reliable anymore. If a camera is a surprise at every important moment, why it stands for. Especially a really expensive one like 5d Mark 2 Sad
