ok, from what ive seen on ebay, tafe (where they have moe than half of the canon 400d's are not working) and here, the canon's dont seem that reliable. its mainly the 400d's that ive seen it with but that could be across any canon i guess.

because im after a 400 or 450d, i would like to know abit more on what people find on the reliability. i dont want to pay hundreds for something that i will have to throw away because it will cost more whan its worth to fix.
