Jeff, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I don't think that Canon fixed it because I don't think that it was broken in the first place. I bought mine 3 months after production for good reason. My first "potential" purchase of the camera was probably before your own purchase, as it was back in April, from Camera Canada, but the problems were twofold: cost in Canada and focus issue rumors. I eventually, 3 months later, decided to purchase my camera from the US in order to save 1000 dollars in basic "cost" of item, and also I thought that 3 months was enough time for canon to work out the problems that you people experienced with the "first" purchase of the camera. I recall all of the posts that said, "wow, I now have my Mark III, I'm one of the first"

Well, yep, you were the first, and you got your camera, now you are complaining because you don't like what you got.

I waited and am pleased.

Cheers
