Missing screws by Strap Plate

"Hello! I have the same issue with same camera model, so the 1,7x3,00mm worked well?

Thanks a lot!"

"Call Canon at 1-800-828-4040 and ask for the parts department. They will send you 2 screws free as a ""one-time courtesy"". I just did it on 3/3/2014 and they are sending me my screws.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure you use loctite threadlocker (availble at home improvement stores and online) or your screws will fall back out with time. This will be the second time that I am replacing them. I bought the screws online the first time and never got around to dabbing threadlocker on them. They eventually fell out..."

"does anyone know which dimensions the 1.7 and 3.0 mm stand for?

These are fairly hard to find in the US. Purchased a set from australia's ebay - 10 for ~$6. If anyone finds a source more local, please post. Searching USA ebay, one can find people selling 1-2 screws for $5-7.

Also - I just called canon, and they 'discontinued the part number for the 790 IS'"

Same thing happened to my G10; according to Canon's parts department, this camera is no longer supported and they no longer have the screws. They are available from US Camera in Colorado (seems to be the only source), not cheap ($9.05 for 3 screws, incl. shipping), but at least they have them.

"Both of these sites have the M1.7x3 screws. I had to create an account to order, and them come in packs of 50, so with shipping, over $20 from both sites, but they had them.
