If I were to send my gl2 to Canon service is there any idea how long (weeks/possible months?) untill I would get it back? Also, I Believe the gl2 comes with a 1 yr. warranty... so would any internal problems would be repaired free of charge? Please respond. Thanks.

Tom,
Responses to your questions here would be uselessly anecdotal. Turn-around will depend on the service center's load. Cost will depend on your warranty status and the nature of your camera's particular problem.

Contact your nearest service center and ask them:
