Recently I went on a picture taking frenzy (atleast for me) and took about 850pictures in 5days especially on one day (terry fox run) when I took 400. This was from the 12th to the 16th. Now I have never dropped this camera, maybe bumped it a little here and there when its in the bag (thats a freebie but suprisingly well padded) but nothing major. I've taken about 8500pics in the 4 months I've owned it.

Now on this monday (the 18th) I switch on my camera , look through the viewfinder and I dont see anything, just blurryness. So I remove the lens and somethings falls into my hand. Basically the focus point glass like thing or whatever it is that is above the shutter had fallen apart...completely...there were about 4-5 pieces that had fallen out. I rushed to the Service centre with the warranty card. Well the person there told me that they can fix it. I hope they can....

Now I know I did go Dust crazy a month or so back but since then I've taken about 2500pictures. All I'm wondering did I do something to it or could it be a fault others have also faced...??

Dunno. My rig (camera, lens, flash, bracket) tumbled out of my van and onto a concrete curb and only bent the generic battery's latch. It also gets bumped into stuff (doorknobs, door jams, chairs, etc) all the time. Hasn't any problems so far.

Sounds like the focusing screen - no biggy really.
