EOS Bodies / 1D X custom WB question

« on: August 13, 2012, 09:44:09 PM »

Once a custom white balance setting has been recorded is there a way to delete it?  I realize it is possible to record a new setting over the old one but I was wondering about clearing the setting all together.

Thanks for the help.

Think I'll pass on the IPO.

Thanks to all of you who are trying to isolate this problem.  Your efforts will certainly help all of us 1D X owners.

Just wondering if there is something going on between the mode dial and the pop-up flash unit?

EOS Bodies / What happens to the olympic equipment

« on: August 02, 2012, 12:12:40 PM »

I was amazed at the picture of all the cameras and lens Canon has available for photographers at the Olympics.  Just wondering what will be done with all that nice equipment when the Games are over?  Will it be refurbished and sold as such?

Thanks for the clarification on how the charger handles two batteries.  I only have one battery at this time but look to get another when they are more readily available.

Taking two batteries on a short trip is a great idea however my next cruise is a little over three weeks long so that won't be an option.  Got to figure out how to pack all the 1D X equipment in my roll along bag that was set up for a 5D II.  Guess I'll pull out all the compartments and start over.

Speedlites, Printers, Accessories / Battery Charger LC-E4N for 1D X

« on: July 22, 2012, 02:49:57 PM »

The LC-E4N battery charger for the new 1D X is quite large and requires a separate power cord.  It will charge two LP-E4N batteries at one time as well as measure the battery performance (although the camera will do this as well).

While the LC-E4N works very well and is a nice unit I am concerned about the size of the charger.  As mentioned, this boy is rather large and will be difficult to pack in carry on luggage for air travel.  Sure do wish Canon would offer a "travel model" charger for the 1D X for one battery at a time that would plug directly into an electrical socket without the having to use a power cord (like the charger for a 5D II.

EOS Bodies / Re: 1D X arriving at smaller dealers?

It's starting to happen!!!!

I placed a deposit on a 1D X back in January with a small local dealer.  I got an email from him today stating that Canon had notified him a 1D X had been shipped and would arrive in his shop on Friday.

I'll be standing there when the UPS driver arrives.

Yes, I have also bought a lot of Canon gear from Amazon with never a problem.  In addition, they have a very easy and great return policy.

EOS Bodies / 1D X arriving at smaller dealers?

« on: July 05, 2012, 08:18:34 PM »

Anyone received or heard information about any cameras being sent to smaller dealers?  So far the only thing I have seen posted is about shipments from the very large dealers like B&H, Amazon and Adorama.

EOS Bodies - For Stills / Please keep us posted

I have had mine ordered since January with a smaller dealer.  When you guys start to receive your cameras from the big dealers like B&H, Amazon and Adorama please let us know.  Shipment from the larger dealers might indicate the smaller retailers could get one or two soon.

I really believe that we all have been most patient but these delays are getting past the point of being frustrating.  To those of us who are loyal to Canon and spend thousands of dollars to buy their equipment I believe the Company owes an explanation, an apology and a definite delivery schedule.

Canon, if you are listening, you have a PR problem that can be addressed with some straight forward communication!
