And I thought I had bad luck with cameras, right down to the point and shoots. 
So far, only my current 1D Mark IV has had no issues of internal origin (fingers crossed!), only those stemming from rough (and inept) handling by yours truly. All the others, well... the 30D was especially bothersome, but even the 1D Mark II N once had a mirror failure once that cost me around ½ of what I had paid for the camera (on a flea market, to be fair) to fix.
