Still no comments about the oil splatter? Anyone check?
Maybe that's because it's not there!!!
When are the cameras actually in peoples hands in the US? Wasn't it on the 14th?
I'm sure we'll know by the 15th!!! LoL

13th but I read somewhere someone was told it would ship on the 12th. Anyways, soon we will have lots more reports about this beast of a camera.
The oil splatter requires some stopping down and a little Dehaze to really show the mess on the 1DXII. But at least with the 1DXII it only takes a day or so to show up after a good clean. So if it is as problematic with the 1DXII, it shouldn't take long for reports to follow if people test for it.
I was blissfully ignorant of how bad it was on my 1DXII as I always shot wide open between f/4-f/8 and rarely made use of the corners where most of the oil went as I was always cropping for birds. Therefore oil splatter even like the 1DXII wouldn't be a deal breaker for me based on my use of the camera. But it would certainly be nice if Canon has gotten a handle on it this time.
