Title: A Throwaway Cable at $70.00?
Product review: I have had this OC-E3 for 5 months and have only used it about 5 times. Suddenly the shoe on the flash side is splitting from the base and it no longer allows contact w/ the flash. I called Canon, they said it is a "Consumable product" meaning when it breaks you throw it away, does not come with a warrantee. Can you believe that? A $70 (list price is much higher) cable I used 5 times is broken and they say just throw it away and buy a new one!I took it to a repair shop before I called Canon. The guy says this happens all the time to these cable.No issues with the Amazon seller, the trasaction was fine.Anyway, I'm stuck. I need the cable so I have to buy a new one. I guess it's a cost of doing business...
