Build quality is just as good as a 1dx. Just smaller cameraI bought a 5DSR in the end and am awaiting delivery £1000 cheaper I know build quality not the same but going to give it a go
Unless you have very valuable gold plated diamond encrusted legs - I wouldn't think it'll be that silly I've had various bits changed that I expected to cost half a house, and in reality they didn't.Sigh... door mounting has come loose on mine and now wont spring open.. which is a pain.. can get it open by turning the opener then inserting something to flip it open and get cards out.. what a pain.. looks like a trip to canon.. full service clean and door fixed.. gonna cost an arm and a leg i suspect
I’ve had focus problems this last while with one of my 1DX bodies to the point where sometimes it will just not lock focus. One minute it can be perfect and then the next six or seven frames in a burst can be well out, to the extent that nothing in the frame is in focus, it’s not like it is missing focus and locking onto something else………..very erratic.
A quick Google suggests the mirror box?
Anyone had a new mirror box or similar issues?
If the sixth digit is between 1 and 7 and there's no marking in the battery compartment (a spot or an A) then it's in the recall batch.

Prices won't drop that much, people will want to then get their hands on a 1DX so the demand will be high, so second hand prices will stay high, as will new prices.
Yea, my mirror box was replaced (just) under warranty, Jim, and I know of another couple of people who have had the same problem.....and it had previously had the lube recall.
Well it's now en route to Canon RMSD
Unfortunately, I suspect you are correct......I won't be going to a mk2 unless it's a really spectacular improvement on the mk1, which I doubt looking at the rumours.

......not like the 1 Dx!!Yep, the other one is fine but this issue has been slowly creeping up for the last wee while. I thought it was me or a lens but yesterday it was extremely poor at locking focus so I knew it was a body issue. One burst had seven frames and none in focus?
Been having trouble with both my setups lately.. 1dx +400 locks up at f9.1 or 00 so prseume a connection problem.. gets ERR01.. also pin sharp at 3.2 but not great at 2.8 .. I think this may be a full frame+long length thing being to thin and me pointing at wrong are of body.. not 100% sure..
the 1dx and 70-200 lets me down focus wise.. for example last night.. player scores.. runs right at me arms open.. so its one of them you fire away and away machine gun.. in order to pic the best one.. hes full in frame coming at me... perfect.. so why are some out of focus.. all should be in focus..
Sent an email at 1.45 pm to cci_servicecentre@cuk.canon.co.uk explaining my requirements and tight time scale..
at about 4pm they phoned me
Said even if I take my equipment 9am on mon morning.. they still wouldnt look at it until tue.. so if i posted mon.. they get tue and wouldnt look until wed
So after speaking to the nice lady.. I take gear in mon.. As i am a CPS Platinum member they have 2 days to service clean and fix problems (tue and wed) then post back to me to get thur.. But if needs spare parts they have to order (I am having problems) then they will know thur and send me out replacement gear thur to get to me friday...
its about 85 quid for the proAF service for 1dx and 400 .. then 58 quid for the other 1dx.. however wiht the problems I am having i fully expect the cost to double or triple
2nd may.. long drive down to elstree...again!
