-Official- 1D MK III AF Thread.

He did not say specifically why, but his observation on the Mark III is, and I quote, " The Mark III as it currently is sucks major ass. Mine have been in my closet since September 2. I do not have the time or energy to write you about it. The camera sucks."

I don't think comments like this without further elaboration are helpful to anyone

perhaps you needed more than the fix, some cameras needed a little more done which takes longer, are they fixing them in melbourne or all in sydney? i cant see them shipping everything to sydney to fix but who knows, given them a call? rick at cps is extremely helpful.

Canon called me yesterday, (I'm in Melbourne), they are all being sent to Sydney for the fix. I need mine on Friday, so its going to Sydney on Monday.

Let me know if it all worked out O.K for you.

BTW, what is a stopper fix ?

are canon paying for the shipping? or you take it to canon melb and they deal with it?

no idea what the stopper is richard

Well here it is 11:00am on Dec 13th and I just got my call from Canon. UPS sticker is on its way with a questionaire to fill out and then send off for fixing......YEEE HAWW!

My apologies...I did not ask this individual if I could quote him, but for the record, he is one of the principals of Sportsshooter.com...I think his opinion is worth noting...

I just received a phone call from Canon USA. They confirmed my serial number and informed me they will be sending me information by email later today.

I asked her where they were doing the repairs, and she told me it was Newport News, VA. I also asked her if they had been doing CPS member first, and she verified that 'unofficially.' She also said they were doing Explorer of Light members first too.

I can conclude that most (if not all) the CPS members have now been contacted, and they're working their way down to people like me. although I suspect I was fairly high on the list because I called quite early in these discussions.

I was happy to get the call because I had allotted some time later today to check on this. Now I can take a nap instead.

Cool. My unofficial plan is to check into where my phone call has disappeared to on Monday. Hopefully I'll get the call and then I can take a nap too.

It's still a nice place to visit.

I got my call from Virginia this morning as well,.
I hope the very nice woman I spoke to is reading this,. as I think I have a crush on her

She was very pleasant and we talked OT for quite some time..
I felt a little guilty realizing that we were making more MkIII owners wait longer for there call, but then I though.. "so what, big deal"

It appears Newport News VA, is the epicenter of repairs in the U.S.

Just got the call. Shipping to Newport News. Time for a nap....
