After my 4th return from cps of 1MKIII I was at the local beach here in LI shooting birds testing the camera again. You know the story, mirror box replacement, firmware after firmware, sending my entire lens to NJ twice for calibration etc etc. Two fellas walked by with fishing poles enroute to the jetty, they stopped over and started joking/chatting saying if I was shooting a Nikon they would have walked through my frame. They were funny and piqued my curiosity at that point to who they were. They both whipped out building security ID for Canon headquarters in lake success and then told me something that ruined my day..They told me the MKIII would never be straightened out because the design of the MKIII AF sensors themselves were flawed. Well my camera was acting the same, focusing anywhere it wanted in single point so I called my rep in NJ and told her what I was experiencing w camera and told without using names.This time they didnt ask for my images on CD.. She sent me a brand new retail 1D overnight and said that’s the most we can do. Was told to send my camera to them at lake success so engineers could dissect it..I said thanks for giving me a way out and recoup. I sold all my gear the next day..This is no story
