I´ve been reading so many posts of people(here and over at
robgalbraith.com),that had to send their 1Ds back to service
because of frontfocussing,banding,underexposure or incorrect
whitebalance,that I am curious to know an approximate percentage.So
let us know,who had to send his camera back and who hadn't.

Stefan:
Here are some problems that I've heard people sending their cameras
in include:
1) HNL Fix (see note below)
2) Front focus problems
3) Exposure problems (i.e. constant underexposure)
4) White balance problems (i.e. ruddiness and red saturation)
5) Stuck/Hot Pixels
6) Dust mites afflicting the CCD
(1) Early production models (serial numbers below 6000, shipping
with firmware 1.01) have a part which needs adjustment by Canon's
Factory Service Center to deal with the Horizontal Line Noise (HNL)
problem. This fix also does something to alleviate banding in
these early production models. Canon says that this fix brings
these cameras up to spec with currently shipping EOS-1D's.
Three firmware releases are currently on the market: 1.01, 1.2, and
1.3. Later production models shipped with either firmware 1.2 or
1.3 and already included the fix for HNL.
As for mine, I sent my EOS-1D in for fixing (1). It went in on
Monday and came back on Tuesday the next week. Since then, I have
been extremely satisfied with its performance.

You have to remember also that a lot of very satisfied owners never make it to these forums at all(they don't even know they exist).I´ve been reading so many posts of people(here and over at

because of frontfocussing,banding,underexposure or incorrect

People with problems are the ones most likely to post, everyone
else is out taking pictures!!

Could you explain to me what "banding" is? and the same with front Focus, how does that present it self? What exactly is this SDK software you refer to?My banding is very minimal.
No font-focusing issues.
I do have some "hot" pixels at ISO 800 and above, but they can be
addressed via software (YarcPlus) once the 1D SDK becomes available.
