Excellent camera while it lasted

I was thrilled with my Eos. It took excellent photos, is relatively light, performed a multitude of functions. My only complaint was that it is not compatible with my flash. (Make sure you check into this before you buy.) But now I have another complaint...my camera died this weekend. Luckily it was toward the end of the photo shoot. The shutter will not open the other way, the camera won't always focus, and sometimes won't snap a picture at all. I did a lot of research to try to figure out the problem which involved an error 99 message. There is a lot of conflicting information about this problem with Canon cameras. Please research the Error 99 before buying! I took over 10,000 photos with my camera and will buy a Canon again because I have Canon lenses, but I"m a little wary. I hope my next camera doesn't die after only a few years.
