  1. Canon have had their moments. My 1D3 was recalled twice and never worked perfectly.

    FR...I had a plain old 1D when they first hit the market...zero problems...ever...

    except me geting used to Canonology. Was your 1D3 problem Canon wide or

    localised to you & your area?

    It was a design problem with the AF which they tried to fix with a worldwide recall to replace the mirror box, and then when that didn't work they offered another fix. Camera never worked adequately for tracking subjects, the 1d4 was a massive improvement.

    Rob Galbraith did a lot of work in testing and highlighting the issue and thus forcing Canon to do something about it.

  2. Having had the time now to take the 3.8 seconds required study the chart, my only conclusions are 1. Sony sales performance is a myth. 2. I think the K-3 may be the last consumer grade camera Pentax will make. Wouldn't be surprised if Ricoh just stick to the 645z and dump all the other lines. It appears Pentax now has no sales at all.

    "It appears Pentax now has no sales at all." How can this be; they have you?!

  3. Sometime,

    Buying cack off ebay when drunk is the most satisfying thing a person can do. But it's like the ugly bird in the morning syndrome. You wake up and she's not wearing any make up.

    Sometimes the voice of experience rings loud and clear....

  4. They will tax based on the value of the goods, irrespective of whether it is new or not, being a "gift" is irrelevant. They will be guided by the value stated by the shipper. If it is a low value item they won't bother, and even higher value items sometimes slip through. I received an old camera yesterday valued at $200 on the shipping and it arrived with no tax to pay. This made me very happy.
