I felt that focus on my new IDXM2 was little soft and inconsistent, so I sent it to Canon and asked to have the focus re-calibrated. They found and fixed an issue and now all is well.

I had this problem a while back with Epson OEM Claria ink cartridges.  Epson acknowledged that they had some issues with bad chips and sent me new cartridges for free. No proof of purchase was ...

You're in a tough position because $470 is quite a bit of money for a repair. Unless you have plans to upgrade the lens in the next year to version II, I would have the lens repaired. I would ...

Today I received a remote shutter release model R6. The instructions state you must place the camera in remote release mode. It's one of the drive modes that displays on the top LCD.

Canon asked me to provide a copy of my sales receipt before performing a warranty repair on my new IDXM2, so they will know if I purchased from an authorized Canon dealer.

First and foremost - Many thanks for sharing this information. You've done a kind service to many of us 1DXM2 owners who would have thought nothing of cleaning our sensor. I suspect you will have ...

I hope I am wrong, but it looks like possible sensor damage caused by a laser to me.

I would probably sell the 5D3 and replace it with the 1DX 2, which covers you FPS need in a full frame sensor. I would pick up a 1.4x extender for reach.

Can anyone recommend a good red dot sight setup for Canon digital SLRs?

I agree with the previous poster.  I would rather pay more and get a camera with much less usage (e.g., under 20,000 clicks). I would also try to avoid one that has oil splatter issues.

If you have the cash, I would go for a brand new 1DX with a street price of $4,169, which is about $1,300 more. In return you get a new camera with a full Canon warranty.

Even if the sensor is damaged, Canon will replace it under warranty. Someone else had a different issue with their 1DXII sensor and Canon completed the sensor replacement within 6 days.

Excellent pictures of tennis. Thanks for sharing your experiences with the Nikon D5 system. The pictures speak for themselves.

You can send it to Canon and ask them to calibrate the focus, which should be covered by the warranty.

Peter: I would remove the Canon battery grip to eliminate a potentially faulty grip as the source of the problem. Good luck.

I'm curious if you are using a non-Canon branded battery or battery grip?

Thanks for the recommendations. I have several version 1 L glass that bI should consider upgrading. When I'm ready to upgrade I'll look to these forums and Craigslist.

What is the best way to sell version one L glass if you are not an ebay-er? Thanks.

I'm not getting images with this degree of focus precision. The eyes are critically sharp. What lens did you use for this picture? Also, did you use the center focus point with the extra precision ...
