Rellik Senior Member  720 posts Joined Sep 2006 Location: Vancouver, BC More info | Mar 21, 2008 04:32 | #1 With all the controversy of the 1dmk3... I went ahead and got one. Fresh from Canon with serial 56xxxx date code OW0208. AF seems to be no problem, but too early to tell. What a camera! Build quality is amazing. I love the ergonomic of the grip. I can shoot using one hand with the 70-200 f/2.8 IS on it.  A mandatory duck!  And one for the Easter weekend!  -Derek 40D, 5D, 5D MK II, 1D Mark III

Seriously, did the bad reviews on POTN get to you that badly... ^ the above sentence wasnt in any way offensive ^ Just bringing some realism to the usual gushy fluffiness.

I know of a number from the very first batch which never exhibited a problem - but some later ones possibly did.

The subjects in both pictures appear to be a bit soft, and the grass in front of the animals is in sharp focus - I don't know if this indicates a front focusing problem or operator error? CMN
