If I remember correctly the 1DIII problems manifest them selves during hot temperatures (like in Summer). The 1DsIII was and is being released in November – February. Perhaps the mirror issues will show up later on in the year during the warmer months.
The only problems or issues that I have seen or read about are error99 messages and the lock up
of the 1DsIII and each error99 being worse than the previous, until finally the camera totally locks up.
Update 08Feb2008:
I sent my 1Ds3 to Canon in California ground shipped on Monday, from Seattle. They received it in Thursday and is scheduled to be delivered back to me on Friday. The invoice said that they reworked the DC to DC PCB assembly (resolder it?). Canon received the camera, fixed it and send it back all in one day. It looks to me as if the knew what to look for and were set up to fix in advance of the camera’s arrival. Dave
Final: Canon replaced the camera with a brand new one. End of problems.
