Got mine back today. Going to try MFA with Focal to see if there are any improvements on my 16-35L II.

Just heard that mine is done and will be delivered on Monday... Took 5 days for non CPS... not bad...

Where do you find owls from? :thinking: Nice shots...

Bought my 1DX from them... would buy again...

Not sure. They would have said something by now. But from what I can tell, its specifically 1DX and 1DC related due to the parts that are impacted.

I would expect the shop to send them in as a Service Note is fairly serious. Canon probably wouldn't allow a certified canon retailer to sell affected stock. I think recent stock should be ok. I bought mine 3 months ago and mine is affected, so had to send mine in...

Ditto on Fixation. Great service.

Mine gets picked up on Monday then sent to Fixation... Lady said its normally a 4 day turnaround... Poo..

Well done mate. Great to see people buying from Jessops again... They just need to keep it up with the online stores...

3 days... took me an entire day to unbox it! cherished every moment of it... my wife just looked at me weird... :cuckoo: Went thru the manuals and online tutorials to pass the time... purchased on a thursday and didnt arrive until the tuesday... has that new smell (similar to a new car smell)...

Likewise! Sleepless nights before then!

I have personally not tried any, but have been looking for a while. This one looked good: http://www.albelli.co.uk/ I suppose you can also use zenfolio or 500px if you want a portfolio and a marketplace type service. Or even SmugMug (I think they have a local UK partner who does the printing).

I got my 1DX from HDEW, would buy from them again. 3 year warranty can be used with your local repair as long as they are an authorised canon dealer. I would normally use Fixation here in London. Only UK stock is available for cash back, but for £4000, price diff is too much not to consider I...

Just got my 1DX and just noticed had to get my PX system firmware upgraded. Have to now send it back to Washington. Poo. Anyone using this combo after the firmware upgrade? Using ST-E2 and 580exii... Any difference in performance? Or pretty much the same? Any nuances?

Hi all. Just received my 1DX. Upgraded from a 5dII. I am still at awe with this camera, coupled with a 50L, I am just gobsmacked. It's my first foray into the 1D family. Money well invested!
