Disappointing Canon EOS1DX Mk3
Posted: Tue Nov 03, 2020 12:30 am
I sold three houses (almost) to purchase a Canon EOS1DX Mark 3 back in April 2020. Although it has good features I have been somewhat disappointed for the following reasons.
1. Instructions were lacking
2. Cards were not available initially. B and H were appalling here.
3. Repeated errors (Error 1)with my Tamron 150-600mm lens. (this never happened with the Mark 1 version)
4. Difficult to update software
5. Lately failure to read any cards (needs new card reader)
At this point it was put in for service. I have just been told that the sensor is stained....not my fault
6. Needs new sensor.
I have been forced to go back to the Mark 1 and it has some better performance features.
Overall this is not a satisfactory performance and Canon remain pretty mute about the problems.
I would like to hear from other users
Cheers
Graeme
