Subject: EOS 1Ds Mark III Focus Problems?
Hi Listers,
A newspaper snapper friend of mine asked me if they current crop of
1DmIII focus issues that is currently running its course affects the
1DsmIII. Eg, is the focus system the same, and if so, any reported
problems with it?
I said I'd ask someone knowledgeable ;-)
TIA
Cheers,
Cotty

Hi Cotty,
For something like this, I'd suggest looking at the www.dpreview.com
forums dealing with the 1D 5D series of bodies, and check the Fred Miranda
forums as well. I've certainly seen queries referring to this very
subject, but didn't check what answers were being given.
For my own part, I was very keen to get a 1D MkIII earlier in the year,
but held off as soon as the AF problems surfaced. According to my local
Jessops a few days ago, the 1D MkIII problems are "solved" so I asked
who/what their source was. Turns out to be Andy Rouse - so I checked his
pages on the Warehouse Express site, and nothing I saw there which got me
to spend my money just yet! (It also got me wondering whether he'd paid
for all his gear or whether he was (part?) funded by Canon...)
How's your cottage getting on?
Cheers,

Check Rob Galbraith's website, he's not convinced that the problems are
totally solved. He's one of the ones who first documented the original
problem, and worked with Canon to find, identify and solve it.
I, too, was ready to buy the 1D mkIII, until I heard about the problems.
Then I was ready to do so again, having heard that the problems were
"solved." I'm hanging onto my money, now, until the 1D mkIIIn comes out...
