Canon EOS 50D shutter button issue - 4

It was about two weeks ago, my EOS 50D came back from Canon Repair Centre from Sydney.

I tested several shots with Canon EF 50mm F1.8, and confirmed the shutter button issue has been fixed. To be honest, a few days from the return, I was worry about if the issue could be recurred. However, now I don't need to worry about if I miss my chance or not.

When I look the rubber cover of 50D hand grip, it seems to be cleaner than before. I should say white things are in the rubber cover.  I no longer see them. It is looked like it was replaced. This is a good sign for me because when I had my 50D had repair first time, it was looked like hasn't been touched.

This feeling makes me doing this.
I used a program to check the shutter counter before and after the second repair as Canon's word "rework".


This is before the rework;

Then, next one is after the rework;
According to software, EOSInfo (http://astrojargon.net/), 22349 - 22151 = 198 shot was done as checking the shutter issue and confirm the shutter issue has been fixed. Thank you EOSInfo and Canon Australia.

This repair was done under Canon's extended 3-year warranty. I wonder if I didn't purchase the extended warranty and asked same repair out of warranty. I have asked Canon Repair Centre.
