I've done nothing with mine as I've got the Err99 message

Added myself to the map and there's not many people around here [emoji6]

RIP Gary - thoughts are with his family

Nothing with my 1dmkIII - Err99 :(

Doesn't sound good

True but if I bought a 2nd hand one I could end up with same problem a month down the line so at least I'd know this one had been done ?

Ok cheers Tony - that's good enough for me - not looking forward to the bill but at least it'll be done right I suppose

OK so I spoke to Canon today and they went through some checks with me and informed me that it does need to go to the repair centre and sent me the email with all the instructions... So now I'm thinking do I send it to Canon at Elstree or do I go for somewhere a bit more local like Lehmans ...

OK so the taking everything out and waiting for about half an hour didn't work (n) So I guess the next step is Canon ? Anyone any ideas how much thats going to be ???

I do have a new small battery that I will put in after my 20mins has elapsed - fingers crossed

OK both batteries and memory card are out 20 minute countdown - fingers crossed :whistle:

Any ideas how do I get to the 2nd battery??

To be totally honest I'm not sure how many clicks but I'd say quite a lot - I mainly shoot Ice Hockey pictures as both my sons play and end up taking 100's per game - I think only Canon can tell me as its a 1d unless I am mistaken and age, not sure is there a way I can find out - i.e. serial...

I have just come to switch my 1d mk3 on and tried to take some shots and got the dreaded Err99 - does this mean what I think it means ?? (Shutter ??) I have read somewhere that it could be the lens - so have tried it with 3 so that options out - I am just calibrating the battery aswell just...

or is the 70D the one to go for - then I know the camera's never been abused at all or had 1,000,000's of clicks ??? :thinking:
