Has anyone found front or back focusing problems with their SLX cameras (or even checked) ?
Wondering what...if anything Canon might do to help with an older, bottom of the line body.
I've never been overly happy with my SL1. The detail/sharpness has not been very good. I chalked it up to a cheaper body and left it at that. I was checking the micro focus on a new lens on a Sony body, and the SL1 was sitting close by...I thought what the hell, I'll give it a go..! It has a zoom lens on it, so I tried f5.6 - f8 - f11. While f8 was by far the best, I also noticed that it back focuses by a large amount. I tried a second lens (also a zoom), almost as bad.
Unfortunately there is no adjustment in the SL1 like the higher end bodies..!
Experience anyone ?

Only fix for a back/forward focusing SL1 that I know would require a service repair by Canon or ?. I previously owned a SL! and never noticed this issue. But, never had it checked either. I think you already know what Canon might do to help with an older, bottom line body.
