That's great!!
Also, you don't have to fool around with all that focus and metering falderal. Put it on manual, point and shoot! Probably get more "art" shots than a room full of photography students that way!

i recommend not fixing it yourself. It's not impossible, but you don't want to have uneven amounts of glue dry on one side. If it does dry unevenly, the image viewed by the mirror may be slightly distorted. Canon will fix it for free even if it's years after warranty. I am just speaking for myself on that matter though. I had 2 5D classics. 1st once got fixed in 2010. 2nd one fixed in 2011.

Thanks red5, that's a valid point that I hadn't considered.
I wouldn't want my view of the world to be any more distorted than it already is

Hah! Fabulous idea. I've been considering the EOS M but now I know for sure I can just rip the mirror out of my 5DC and give it a new lease of life. It's been languishing on the shelf for a couple of years now. Yippee! Should it be named the 5D-CM? Or is that a naming conflict with an old Hasselblad CM film body?

I wouldn't get too excited about it : I can conclusively report that the 5D works better with the mirror in !
Now I know what Live View is for..............
