    Canon 1D X Mk II Owners Thread

    Thanks Glen. It is down for return by close of play today. It will be interesting to take a shot immediately and then take the same shot after a 500 shot session. Regardless of the result, I'm just gonna have to bite the bullet and accept that I'll have to clean it [very] frequently. Appreciate...

    Thanks Tim. I already have a rocket blower even though it's not the filter type, I may investigate that. I am seriously considering an LED loupe. A big problem at the moment is that I've never done a sensor clean myself and I'm a bit concerned that I may cause real damage. I've read that the DX2...

    Thanks for the replies Glen/Bob. I'll get tooled up with the Eclipse fluid and sensor swab, I think it'l be needed within a very short time of me receiving the camera back.

    Thanks for the feedback Glen. I'm a bit reluctant to clean it myself as I read a couple of horror stories on another forum. Any chance of a method statement on how you go about it?

    Canon 1D X Mk II Owners Thread

    I just stumbled across this thread and I'm a bit puzzled as to how few of you seem to be affected with the oil splatter issue. My otherwise excellent camera has been affected since day one and I returned it to Canon three times in about a year. Each time it came back with a new shutter, new pcb...

    No instruction book with mine either and it's a UK model! Are they supposed to be included? I just assumed that the disc was all you got, it's a bit of a pain.

    Birds in Llandudno

    There's an Eagle Owl escaped from that place and was (maybe still is) living feral in the woods behind the farm. Nice shots BTW.

    Finsch’s Wheatear

    Nice shot. I thought I had a shot of one in Bulgaria earlier in the year, seemingly they hybridise with Pied Wheatear. I never did get to the bottom of it!

    Compact Flash card - failure

    No Joy with trying the card in different computers, I've sent the card off and we'll see what the damage is. £99 seem to be roughly what I'm looking at. This is my second loss of data this year, I paid just under £500 recently to have a knackered external hard drive recovered and replaced...

    Thanks for that guys, it looks like I'm going to get shafted by a data recovery company!

    Compact Flash card - failure

    Hello all, I've just taken about thirty images, plugged the Kingston 16gig CF card into the Mac via a reader and it doesn't recognise the card. Put the card back in the camera and the camera doesn't recognise it either. Is there any easy way (I'm an IT numpty) to recover the data? Regards, Mike.
