Prior to starting this guide, ensure that the device is powered completely off.

    • Remove the rubber eye piece by pulling it back.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the two 5mm #00 screws located on the side of the viewfinder.

    Check end punctuation here.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 4mm #00 screw located on the bottom left of the device.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 5mm #00 screw located on the bottom center of the device.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 7mm #00 screw on the right top corner of the camera, just above the media ports.

    • Use the Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the two 5mm #00 screws located on the right side, under the media port dust cover.

    • Ensure the LCD screen is swung fully to the left before taking off the back panel.

    • Use the iFixit opening tool to pry off the back panel.

    • Don't completely pull off the back panel because there is still a ribbon attached.

    • Use the black spudger to unclip the ribbon located behind the battery compartment. Then remove it using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • Once the ribbon is unplugged, remove the back panel from the camera body.

    The first step is a little confusing to me—can you clarify what you mean? Also, be sure to check end punctuation on each step.

    On the third step, only the thin plastic ribbon comes out, the brown and gray plastic parts are the connector and will stay with the board, I pulled the gray plastic part and broke the connector.

    • Remove the sunshade located on the front of the lens by twisting it 90 degrees in either direction, then pull straight off the lens.

    Should this be two steps? Do you have any images of you removing the lens?

    • Remove the 5mm Phillips #00 screw located on the left side below the microphone connection.

    • Remove the 4mm Phillips #00 screw located on the bottom left of the camera.

    • Remove the 5mm Phillips #00 screw located on the bottom center of the camera.

    • Pop open the flash and remove the 5mm Phillips #00 screw located under the flash.

    • Remove the front cover by pulling along the lens housing while holding the body of the camera.

    This is a great example of the final shot that I think some of your other guides need, which iFixit was referring to in the feedback.

    • Remove the 4mm #00 Philips screw located on the top left corner beneath the front panel.

    • Remove the 5mm #00 Philips screw located on the top left corner beneath the front panel.

    • Remove the 5mm #00 Philips screw located on the top of the left side panel near the microphone connection.

    • Remove the 4mm #00 Philips screw located on the bottom left corner beneath the front panel.

    • Using a black spudger, unclip the orange wire ribbon on the lower left corner of the motherboard and then remove it using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • The side panel is now free and can be removed by pulling the panel to the left.

    I think I would be clearer about who’s unclipping and how. I might consider making this its own step. Also, what is “it” referring to in the last bullet?

    • Remove two 4mm #00 Philips screws located at the hinge of the LCD Screen.

    • Unclip the green ribbon using the nylon tipped tweezers.

    • Be careful when removing this plug. The wires in the green ribbon are not connected together and can easily be damaged.

    • Once the ribbon is unclipped, remove the LCD screen.

    Comma splice, here, between plug and wires. Check the name of the screwdriver throughout (Phillips).
