Canon does it RIGHT- announcement

Dec 19, 2008

Canon has done it right this time to issue a statement almost right away that they acknowledge there is a problem with the 5D Mk II and that they are working on it.

http://www.dpreview.com/news/0812/08121902canon5ddots.asp

I think a lot of bad feelings and mistrust about the 1D III AF could have been averted just by acknowledging there was a problem at first and they were working on it with a firmware update.

P.S. I have never had any issues with my 1D III and love it.
