I would send it to Canon as a warranty repair.

Thanks for starting this thread because many of us will face a similar decision one day. I would stick with the 6D until the 5D Mark V becomes available in 4 or 5 years. It will likely have all of ...

It's typically recommended that you hold the camera upside down when using a blower to avoid pushing dust deeper inside the camera.Thanks.

The blower I recommended does not make any sensor anti-static claims, however another Visible Dust model does make those claims. Thanks.

Very nice pictures. What did you do to reduce the high ISO noise? Thanks.

I would prefer in camera body stabilization. Even if it is slightly less effective than in lens stabilization,  it is much more cost effective.

I wonder if the stick is too tacky could it damage the coating on the low pass filter. I have used Dust Aid Platinum and found it is not very tacky, so I have no concerns about it damaging the ...

I wanted to close this thread down by thanking everyone for the quick and helpful insight. I sent the camera back to canon who did an excellent job removing the lubricant spots. All is well. I ...

Agreed. I'll let Canon clean the 1DX Mark 2 and practice on my Canon 5D. Hopefully, Canon can clean the oil spots completely. I like the concept of the Dust Aid Platinum, but need to be much more ...

Yes, I think you are correct. I should have been more careful in using the Dust Aid Platinum tip. It was my first time using it, but apparently I placed the tip outside the margins of the sensor ...

Thanks for the good advice. I packaged it and sent it back to Canon last yesterday evening. As Platinum member, I should receive it back within a couple of days. I'm hopeful Canon can remove all ...

I would appreciate thoughts as to what may be going on with my sensor. I just received my 1DXM2 back from Canon for a clean and check. The sensor was extremely clean with the exception of 3 or 4 ...

This is why I upgraded to platinum.

Were are shots taken handheld? Thanks.

You did an excellent job of getting very sharp motion shots, despite the slow shutter speed required to maintain prop blur. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing these great tips. I'm still trying to get a handle on the autofocus cases.

Please share any tips Mark provided on the use of the various autofocus cases. Thanks.

Update: Upon further review Canon identified a need to also replace circuit boards bringing the final cost to around $700. As a result, my friend is thinking about buying a new camera instead of ...

A friend of mine had the same error code on his 5D Mark 2. Canon  determined it needed a new shutter, which cost him $285 to repair as a gold level CPS member.
