Re: First Frame Black Problem - Quick Question

Well - great news! I got my 5D back fro mrepair. From the time I shipped it to the time I got it back it was about three weeks and that included them having to order parts for it.

The bad news is that it is not fixed. Took it out of the box, popped in a CF card, put on the kit lens and snapped a pic .... and.... wham! Camera locked with the first frame black. I have tried it over the course of a few days and it has now done it a number of times, usually after being powered off for 6 or so hours. I am VERY frustrated. This is a known issue - and did the not even test it?

So, it is going back tomorrow with a very pointed and detailed note. My disappointment is way up there, but I am stuck as I can not afford anything else. Frsutrating!

More to come as I have updates.
