Canon 1DX AF failure at cold temperatures
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 11:25 pm
I am heading to the high Arctic very soon where it will be very very cold. I was googling about battery life on the 1DX (original, NOT 1DXII), when I came across these alarming links.

Supposedly fixed after Jan 24 2014 but my bodies are from 2012.
Have you heard about this issue? Is a real problem or mostly a rumour or rare occurence? If true, this would be a total disaster for a very crucial photo shoot as all I have are 1DXs.
