CarolinaMoon Member  117 posts Joined Mar 2007 More info | Jan 07, 2009 08:11 | #1 I am supposed to receive my new 1DM3 today from Amazon. I am curious what the "good" (updated firmware, corrected AF issues) serial numbers start with on 1DM3 bodies being sold these days. Is there anything else I need to look for in way of dots, stickers, numbers etc. to make sure all firmware is up to date?

Jan 07, 2009 08:42 | #4 Serial numbers really don't mean anything. Early serial numbers were sent back in for "the fix" and late serial numbers had it done before they left the factory. Generally there has been no difference in IQ or focus issues reported between the two sets of serial numbers. I, like many people, sent my early serial number cameras in for the fix not because of any problems but to enhance resell possibilities and for the extended warranty. Camera: Canon 1D MK IIN, 7D IR, T4i astro modified, 5DSR, 1 DX II

I just took my MkIII (also from Amazon) out of the box with SN 577xxx and Firmware 1.2.3. Dot on the box was yellow.
