I was at the warehouse express "1D Mark 3 and AF" seminar today. I had high hopes but it turned out to be a sales manager giving a 40 minute presentation of the entire Canon DSLR range then an overview of the CFn III technical documents available on Canon's website. No new information other than it does appear firmware 1.1.1 is very AI Servo related and is due at the end of September. No more information available.

Sorry but this is getting ridiculous. Canon has had plenty of time to examine the problem and come out with a solution or at least a response.

I don't know what to tell people who have trouble shooting in oneshot. I have shot in all kinds of conditions from low light cool overcast days on the coast to high 90's full sunlight days to night shots and nearly ever shot is spot on and the ones that aren't are my fault. I am seeing maybe 1 in 100 OOF in single shot and I can't recall a center pt single shot ever being OOF which is what I use if I want to make certain I get a particular shot.

Those two cameras you guys have are very valuable, right away, send them to canon and ask to have them annualized ASAP. maybe they can get some answers from the results for the rest of us.

PS would you mind sharing some of your results with us?

None of your images have EXIF data ?

Websized images plus 100% crop on the focus point will help if possible.

My OOF images on the websize are still sharp
