I don't know what is misleading..I called Canon CPS and asked the young lady who answered the phone if she could tell me anything about the cameras by the serial numbers. She said no. Was she lying, I don't know.

I hadn't used either camera. I was told by both previous owners that they worked great and had no focus problems. When they offered to send me prepaid shipping labels and to check and repair them, if needed, for free I decided to do that.
As to the shutter count on the cameras file I didn't ask them to check. I didn't check the shutter count on the camera file before I sent them. I'm stating what the shutter count on the each camera file read when I got them back it may very well be what was on them when I sent them in.

Sorry if you felt mislead about anything.


CPS does not have access to the service records by serial number. That said the service department is able to pull up the complete service history by serial number for any camera which was previously sent in to them. They provided me a complete printout for both of my 1Ds3's when I recently sold them so I could provide them infor to the new owners. Also provided me with a printout for both of my 1D3's which I recently purchased used. They have always been most cooperate with my requests, them specifically being the New Jersey service center.

Did you guys see that question in the interview with Canon? Hilarious. I'd wait for the Mark IV if I were you.


Q:After the reported problems with the autofocus tracking on the 1D Mark III, how have you improved AI Servo reliability with the Mark IV?

A: We built a new AF sensor and algorithm – these are completely new, therefore we believe we have solved this issue.
We don’t say our 1D Mark III had an ‘issue’.
