You can always tweak color balance and exposure later on the computer, but if the image is out of focus, you just have to throw it away. Of course, you probably won't be shooting any more assignments for that client. I think I'll pass on the 1D MkIII.<BR/><BR/>Shutterbug22Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765336844400622028.post-68655761554262070042007-06-20T08:58:00.000-04:002007-06-20T08:58:00.000-04:00This problem just won't go away - autofocus that i...This problem just won't go away - autofocus that isn't reliable. You would think Canon has had enough time to fine tune the technology, but they apparently have not. My 10D has had focus issues since it was new. It's been to the Canon repair facility twice to correct focus problems. The 20D and 30D and now the 1D MkIII...the problem won't go away.<BR/>Apparently Canon wants these cameras to fly off the production line into the hands of salivating gear freaks only to deal with the inadequate focusing issue as a repair item. Sorry, but from now on I'm going to test the cameras IN THE STORE on a tripod. If they won't focus, I don't buy.<BR/><BR/>DavidAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
