I hope so, but probably not.

Good job with the manual focus! I hope Tamron sorts out your focus issues soon. I shot some pictures of a great blue heron shortly after receiving my Mark II this summer as well! I used a loaner ...

I went back yesterday and took more macro shots through the aperture range starting at f/9. To be completely frank, it needs to be a perfect storm the right out of focus area and colouring of ...

Hi Pergite, I've seen three 1DX Mark II's with this issue now. Each had varying degrees of severity, mine being the worst. Just for disclosure: I've only seen a total of three 1DX Mark II files ...

Walter, I purchased the camera from a reputable Canon dealership in my hometown which I've used for years and years. It was brand new and I was the first person to open the box. When I had my ...

Mike, I hope so it's only that. I had for sure some lines on the left of the sensor that appeared in a macro shot of a flower before the sensor was ever cleaned, which is what alerted me to these ...

I'll be sending it in Monday. Don't know what else I can do. I'm so frustrated by this.

The streaks were there before it was cleaned. In fact, the oil spots on the sensor were removed. The streaks remained -- they didn't get any bigger or smaller, which would be the case if the oil ...

I've posted in elsewhere on the forum and also on Canon Rumors. I figured I'd start a thread on here too see what peoples' thoughts are on the issue. I noticed shooting macro shots the other day at ...

Has anyone else ever seen anything like this? I am hoping they are smears rather than scratches. I mean, c'mon... $8000 new camera and damaged right out of the box? I'll have a heck of a time ...

Yes, but what about the above marks on the OP's sensor and on my sensor? I find this quite strange.

I've never seen sensor smears before. That's interesting. I have not used my Arctic butterfly on this sensor yet. I might take it and get it wet cleaned and see if that makes a difference. I was ...

Hi Walter, Here's a 1:1 screen capture of a portion of my sensor. You can see the oil spots (the majority don't show without DeHaze maxed out) and the "brush" marks I was speaking of. EDIT: I ...

Tvstaff, I hate to potentially cause even more aggravation with your camera, but would it be possible for you to throw a lens on it that can stop down to f/32 and take a photo of the sky, or ...

You're right, it's oil. I was looking at my own sensor the other day and have almost exactly the same thing -- oil dots everywhere. My mistake before -- I was looking on my iPad screen and didn't ...

I haven't had those issues with mine. I have recently discovered a lot of oil being thrown at the sensor, however. Another more concerning thing that I have seen on my sensor, and another on this ...

Doesn't look like oil to me at all; it looks like plain old dust. Most of the spots are dark and very well defined, which would indicate dust. Oil tends to be more blotchy. I recommend either a ...

You keep saying that it's "written in the manual that the sensor cannot be touched", but that's not true. See my above post where I quote the manual and link to it as well. They recommend that you ...

Yea, which is why I am telling the OP to read the manual again; he said the manual states the sensor should not be touched, which is not true. The he manual is basically saying to exercise caution ...

This is what Canon says: "The image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor needs to becleaned directly, having it done by a Canon Service Center is recommended" http://www.manualslib.com/manua ...
