Forbes,

I recently sent my XL2 to Canon Factory Service in NJ. Here's what I did;

- Called 1-800-OK-CANON and connected with the XL owners club department. Provided my membership number and was passed on to a representative.
- After I described the problem they gave me a return authorization number (RMA). Make sure you write this down correctly and put it on the box and all correspondence.
- I was told to include a letter of explaination, contact info, copy of proof of purchase, and only the camera body (in my case).
- Needless to say, they also requested it be packed very carefully.

Hope this helps.

Kevin
