I have posted something similar with two 1D2N bodies I used to own. Canon could never fix it, had to sell them in the end.

That is a really interesting thread (in a perverse way, I mean) and seems to have baffled some of our sharpest forum participants, e.g.:

Oh wow, that\'s really weird. Thanks for posting the additional comparison images. I have no idea what that is...

Okay, I see what you\'re talking about now. That\'s a really, really strange effect and I\'m at a total loss to explain it.


Ivan, I know you sold your 1D2\'s, but did you ever hear more about the problem anywhere else?

And you\'re right: it certainly looks similar to the black-dot phenomenon being discussed here, with the chief difference being that your source blown highlights were much larger than those in OP of this thread\'s sample.

I know many are saying Pfft, what\'s it matter, but for those of us who do a lot of night shooting at ISO 3200, it does matter...
