April 21, 2010-August 14, 2010?

Can this really be happening? I haven't even had my Rebel for 4 months and it's already broken!! The auto focus stopped working so I can only take pictures in the manual focus mode. While I think it's a great idea to get comfortable with the camera in the manual focus mode, I just can't do that with Cati. She moves too fast and I would miss out on a million great shots of her if I had to stop and manually focus before each picture. If she was older and able to pose then it wouldn't be a problem. I have to send my camera into Canon for repairs and I could potentially be without it for THREE weeks. I still have my point-and-shoot but I have become so accustomed to using the DSLR and to the type of pictures it takes that I feel like I'm going to have to relearn how to use the Power Shot. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you survive?
