Hello all,

I was hoping to learn more about the engineering of my cameras that way if there ever minor issues with the camera I could fix it myself and only send it out to get sericed when there is a really huge issue. And even when I do send it out, I'd like to understand enough of what's wrong to feel that what I pay to fix the camera really is worth it. I thought about, performing an autopsy on my camera but that would be a bad idea since I dn't know what I'm doing. I figured something like schematics would hell me out. But maybe there's a better place to start. I know that some people here really know their camera technics where did you get your knowledge? The cameras I'd want to learn more about are:

Beaulieu 6008s
Canon 514 XL
Nizo 3056

There are manuals and wiki articles, but they only tell you so much. Any input would be much appreciated.
