This isn\'t about \"defending Canon\", it\'s about being pig-sick of uninformed, knee-jerk allegations of problems without anything whatsoever to back the allegations up, and, as in this case, a clear lack of any objective basis for the accusation
Look again that the thread title. It is clearly implying that there are indeed AF problems with the 1D Mk IV (adding a question mark doesn\'t change what is being suggested), and this thread just looks like another example of someone desperate to be the first with bad news.
I wouldn\'t dream of starting a thread like this on the basis of a couple of minutes\' worth of waving around a brand new camera I had no clue about - I\'d assume that the problem was down to me, just as it pretty clearly is with the OP.\"
Quite a ridiculous thread: you clearly attack only the shape of the post as you have no arguments against what he says and especially no careful test. We come back to my initial post: when 100 persons will have bought or tried this camera and shared their initial feedback we could comme back to Sahid\'s initial feeling /test/whatever you want to call and decide if he was wrong or not. It\'s a photography forum not a forum about english/posting method, answer what he asked and forget about the shape of the message. Test this camera and brings some valuable input instead of your gut feeling about the initial post and what kind of fame he might have eventually wanted from his post.
