1DS MKII black lines problem.

[vitalboy]

My 1dsMKII was fine I din't change anything and then I got this problems with the black vertical lines.

One shot or every shot?  Tried a different memory card?

The lines are horizontal, BTW.

The lines are vertical the camera is on vertical position I used backup and both cards were affected, Battery was charged and was on every shot of the day. Thanks.

Oops!  Missed the full image below, downsides to iPhone viewing.

If its both cards, all shots, likely a camera issue.    Try pulling the battery (and clock battery if it has one) for a couple of minutes, hard reboot for the camera. If the issue is still there, time to call Canon Service.

 I just upgraded my silver cps to gold and sent it to Canon. I'll post an update as soon as I know. Thanks for trying to help.

One more thought if you haven't sent the camera off, does the issue show up when viewing on the camera?  Thinking card reader issue...

[vitalboy]

Nah I've tried 2 computers and a tablet and 3 different cards we'll know in a couple of days it's already on it's way to canon already.

Uh, you coulda just bought another one for $1100.

wow, smokin' crack @ canon! You can get a 1DsMk3 for that price!

Re-estimate Meaning that they charged me $153.00 before do anything just to open my camera even I being a gold CPS member. They sent me two emails asking for a feedback but were unable to send me a single email status of my repair. I'm selling it for parts and go for a 5DIII. The supervisor on the phone promised me that it would be no parts just calibration then I asked " why do i need to pay for an estimate? Why do I pay $100 to Canon every year?" Canon in Newport is CR@p!

You pay $100 a year because you think it makes you a pro. The service that you get for that is on your invoice, if you were not CPS you would have been billed $3,145.51, had you chosen to do the repair you would have been billed $2,487.27, CPS membership would have saved you $658.24.

Why do they charge to open your camera? My guess would be because every time anybody ever took an out of focus or incorrectly exposed image they would blame Canon and send their camera in for "free" estimates. I get five free cleans and checks a year, but no free estimates on damaged gear.

Even for non CPS the phone staff have a discretionary 15% they can work with too, it pays to be nice to the telephone staff.

It´s the sensor. I know the problem.

Buy a used 1Ds Mark III instead.

I have canceled my CPS platinum membership because Canon Europe can´t or don´t want help me in some situations. I don´t see any advantage in such a membership.

If you are brave (I would do it), there is a 1Ds II on eBay now for $750 ($1000 buy it now) with a broken shutter you could steal the sensor from.  Cheaper than a new FF camera.

"You pay $100 a year because you think it makes you a pro." Wrong guess! I did to get 30% off and free returning shipping. I already sold the ugly cps strap last night for $37 + saving a shipping from Newport= $50, maybe I can sell the canon lens book? but for sure I'm gonna loan every camera and lens they have.
