Canon replaced the entire shutter assembly in my 1DsMKIII after only 2300 shutter actuations, and it's been perfect. These guys seem to know what they're doing. When did you get the 1Ds MKIII? I am jealous!:p 1Ds MKIII, 5D, 30D, EF 50mm f/1.2L , EF 85mm f/1.2L , EF 24-70mm f/2.8L , EF 80-200mm f2.8L, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS , EF 300mm f/2.8L , EF 400mm f2.8L IS, EF 800mm f5.6L IS EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro , EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro ..... Speedlite 580EX II x 4, Speedlite 430EX x 1, ST-E2 , Remote Switch,

The Irvine service facility is only a couple hours drive from here, so I dropped it off in person. Maybe they took pity on me, but the turnaround time was only a couple days. Good to know Tom. At least it gives me some comfort that whatever they do to my MK III, it'll be in good hands.

If the sub mirror is replaced/adjusted, what type of testing do they use to make sure it's functioning properly? Thanks in advance.

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.

They wouldn't be putting them on the shelves if they still had issues given the cost to repair. Soooo, I'd buy if you're going to anyway, with pretty high confidence it'll be okay.
