Did you ever follow up to find out what happened? I can imagine by this time you were probably just fed up with them.

No, I couldn't be bothered since I didn't want to wait several more weeks in the middle of Spring. I've never been happy with the camera since. It rarely focuses sharply.

At this point I'm waiting for what I hope will be a new 7D Mark II. Can't hold my breath much longer though. :)

Kari, does Irving work in Irvine, CA? :D

Dear Karl:

Have you informed Canon in Japan of your great, and justifiable, disappointment with Canon Professional Services ("CPS") in Canada? Although Canada CPS may be unresponsive, I would hope that Canon headquarters in Japan would take a much different view.

Best Regards,

Roman :-)

I wouldn't have put up with it....a camera that rarely focuses sharply....after it comes back from servicing? You had something to go on just based on the new name in the metadata. I would like to have heard the explanation for that one :-) "Oh, our techs put in a name to keep track of the images taken for servicing purposes". Far-fetched but there's got to be an answer :-) Any service issues I would definitely recommend following up with a surpervisor...failing a satisfactory solution.....then talk to the manager. I don't think Canon's goal is to give customers unsatisfactory service....stuff happens....unless the customer brings it to their attention....they won't know about it.

PS. Me too :-) Hoping for a 7D MK II this fall.

Karl, Very glad to see in your other thread that the flash was finally replaced to your satisfaction -- tactful persistence sometimes pays big dividends. - gb

Thanks Gary.
You are absolutely right.
