replacement parts
does anyone know where I can get e replacemet viewfinder for an XL-1. The housing on mine cracked at that right angle bend. I went to the canon website and they have an improved version but it costs more than I spent on the camera.
Many thanks |

Hi Gene! Welcome aboard.
"Improved version"? I assume you are talking about the FU1000 B&W CRT viewfinder? That is not the same as your original finder if you bought the complete package. Just contact Canon and they will sort you out (clearly state which model you have), from the CanonDV.com website (if you are in the US): Quote:

Gene, that happened to me a few years ago. I VERY carefully put it back, together and I did it in such a way that I could hold it there with rubber bands. A month after that I sent it to Canon in NJ and they fixed the swivel without replacing the entire viewfinder. bob

thank you
do you remember how much it cost you?
I was quoted 360 for a new one but I would be fine with a repair. Thanks |

Gene, it was several years ago. Again, they did not replace the entire viewfinder, only the swivel part. I think it was under $100. Did you try the temporary fix? bob
