Now you know what it takes for Canon to listen.

You are correct, the 5DIII will not be recalled because Canon does not care about independant photographers.

If you really believe that, you would sell all your Canon equipment and buy somebody else, like say Nikon, or Sony, or Pentax.

But you won't, because your statement is just nonsense. It is over the top hyperbole. You don't really believe it.

Tim, Tim, Tim...

I was not a fan of the black AF points but was going to purchase the 1DX - 500L IS II and 1.4xIII as the ultimate lightweight BIF package.

The 500L IS II is not available and at this point, not needed until the Spring, so purchasing a flawed 1DX is not a necessity.

I have a 1DIII and 1DsIII and I can get a 1DX from CPS anytime I wish.

Nikon can't deliver working D4's or D800's and the last time I checked Sony and Pentax offered 5D type AF.

Besides, I have enough inventory to last 5 years.

My Nikon N80 (film) had the red focus point light up. It's a "feature" on Nikons and a flaw on Canon?

Then you have no good reason to start two different threads to kvetch in, except for smug self-satisfaction.

Nah. You are providing an entertaining diversion. You can kvetch all you want, but don't be surprised if we call it for what it is.

Yes, I understand. You were going to buy it until canon added a feature you misunderstood. Now despite your obvious misunderstanding, you are sticking to that initial flawed position.

I don't think Canon is the only entity that is too stubborn to admit a mistake. As for me, I am willing to realize a wasted position and will move on.

Monito, I hate seeing people get ripped-off and this update IMO greatly devalues the 1DX.

If Calumet calls in February and says "Your 500L IS II has arrived", I will probally get the 1DX because I want compatable computer technology. Of course now I will need both the 1.4xIII and 2xIII extenders because we can shoot at F8.

I need a new toy.

This thread is yet another example of how far the fm.com forum has fallen.

Don't you people have better things to do than feed trolls like the OP?

If you are interested in getting the 500II a lot sooner and would like to save almost 2grand you may want to give CameraCanada a call. They've been able to get both 500 and 600s on a regular basis over the last couple of months. Fred himself got his 500II from them. A few other US based forum members have got 600s from them. And here is the kicker: Price at Calumet: 10,499 ...... Price at CameraCanada: 8,899.

Use the savings towards the 1DX and it will feel like a it is $1600 cheaper

Guess you don't either

BTW - 75% say they would return the 1DX if recalled.

Guess you missed that part.

you poll answers are poorly worded with the original question.. I'm certain there is a good amount of people answering the poll not understanding your point.

1. They aren't getting "ripped-off". You are saying that the people buying the 1D-X are stupid. In fact, the people buying the 1D-X are almost all thrilled with the camera and love it.

2. The update provides a feature that wasn't provided before. Only you would say that "greatly devalues" the camera. Utterly illogical.
