Wilbaw, I hear you on this, and you could be totally right,

Well, it is what the Canon service centre in Sydney told me when they calibrated by 450D. 

but it makes no sense to me that "at least" the software needed, to make a camera focus to it's fullest potential, would be made easily available, and totally free ... and I mean ANY darn camera that Canon makes, from cheapies on up !

Not if the software is integrated with special hardware (like a big optical test bench thing, for instance)...

Sure, I can see where Canon would like to make $$$ wherever they can.... but I think they would make the most $ {and do the most good for their reputation} with the most cameras that focus well. No ?

We cannot know the mind of Canon.
