Re: How many people having lockups have the RF 100-500?

Please to shoot the questioner. I have not read all of the posts, but I noticed everyone of the people reporting lockups over the last two weeks have the RF 100-500.

Possibly, but I have the RF 100-500 which I haven't had long enough to take  over about 1000 photos. But also, I've had no problems and no lockups with it.

All of the more recent people posting they don't have lock-up (like myself) do not have a RF100-500 listed in their gear list.

I haven't really dealt with the gear list. At least with me it's not a useful tool to figure out what I use.

I am not saying this is the cause, I am just looking for patterns. Maybe we could start a liked on line document that people experiencing lockup could describe the lockup and mode and list the gear they are using. We might be able to find a pattern.

My personal opinion having used  5 Canons of various kinds over 21 years is that memory cards and batteries are capable of faults that cause issues with the cameras. It makes me work hard to learn who is using which devices before I jump into it. It may not be their issue if they have a problem but as the requirements become stricter and more demanding it seems logical that cutting corners is an issue.
