OMG, can this be true that Canon has a problem with a camera,
noooooooooooooooooooo way. Add that to the lockup, CF failures and banding
problems, this a very sad day for Canon.

This is no more than a small hic-cup in the steady parade of cameras from
Canon.

Did you think this is going to make all the people with 20Ds send them back
to Canon and demand the money back????

At least this is a minor issue, that is fixable. Not so easy to correct the
inherent problems in some other DSLRs.

Hardly. I am always pleased when a manufacturer acknowledges a problem and
offers to correct it, rather than trying to hide it or claim that it doesn't
exist.

objectivity).

It was added the day after the press release. I am working to keep my web
site completely objective, unlike your posts.

This doesn't appear to be a problem with the body, but with the grip, at
least according to the press release. So I don't know where you come up with
the idea that the people that have a vertical grip will be without their
cameras for up to two months (though accuracy has never been your strong
point!).

> And add a bit about back focus issues as well.

What issues would these be?

Yeah right, objective???? You have no understanding of the word Steven, that
makes makes you either very stupid or it means you have an agender, which is
it. Even the data on your site is inconsistent and only gives some of the
information that is available, not surprising that it all highlights whatYOU
think is important and you fail to understand that posting in a group where
most of the people already have their camera system in place will not win
you friends when you constatntly bag out the equipment that they are using
and getting great results from. I am sure even the Canon people are sick of
you, they just want to take photos.

He has to be the most delusional troll I have ever seen here. He just does
not get it at all.

Also sorry if I seem as if I think this Steven whats his name is complete
idiot, it's just that I think he has an agender and I think he is an idiot.
Thats just my opinion though of course.
