In Dforum.de, a german Canon site by AC-foto store, one poster said about Mark II that about 70% of shot AF was not hitting the subject. 1D was 100% accurate. He took the camera to repair for check but they could not check it yet because it is so new (service manuals not ready).

It's all in german: enter http://www.digitale-slr.net/foren/canon/index.php click "gäste-login" and go to forum "EOS 1D, EOS 1D Mark II und EOS 1Ds " and header "MKII Tag II (gestern)".

But then there is another post "Meine Mk2 stellt immer scharf, leider... " with AF tests, he says AF is 100% accurate (each test done 5 times) except with 28-105 lens, where it always backfocuses.

Anyways it looks like we'll get a big debate about this soon.

Wonder what happens when people have got their lenses adjusted to 10D and then put them on Mark II?

My Mk II hasn't done anything for me yet. :cry:

.... can you imagine of a $4500.00 camera ends up similar "issues" to the 10D?

Yuck!

My two spare batteries are doing just fine. Nice and cozy in the big LowePro. Sitting. Waiting. Patiently.

Tap...tap, tap, tap, tap.

Okay maybe not that patient.

Pekka: Unless they have a "click here for English" it won't do much of us much good. I don't listen to that kind of crap anyway. That kind of post could have well been predicted. Probably a noob looking for a clue (along with his ruler).

What exactly were the issues with the 10D? I just started learning about DSLRs a couple of months ago so I didn't know any of this. Did they resolve the issue?

All the pre-release camera out there and not ONE mention of it. I think it's user-error like 99.8% of the 10D issues were. Either that or a troll.

Minor AF issue that is long-resolved in the history books.

If I understand how the Canon service center calibrates their lenses, it shouldn't be camera specific, should it? I thought they calibrated the lenses to factory specs independent of the camera. Or at least that's what I was told when I queried them the last time I was there.
