Do you think that the new 5D Mark III's will be recalled? Meaning that everyone who has bought them till now will have to return them for a refund/credit and wait some time till the fixed up model comes out?

tasteofjace:
I think the first obvious measure to take is to see if something can be written into the firmware to compensate for light leakage.

I'm sure they will do anything they can to avoid a (costly) recall.

However, if they can't come up with a solid fix to the issue, I'm sure Canon will realize that it will be better for them in the long run to recall the units, fix the issue and get them back into the hands of their customers.

Hesham:
I voted Yes, but I hope they don't as my replacement kit will arrive tomorrow (I am in Saudi Arabia getting my 5DM3 from the US!) I ordered the replacement before the light leak think broke out. I had a great time with the first one, but the kit lens had something in the front element (inside) that did not go away.

Musouka:
If what CanonWatch is reporting turns out to be accurate, a recall has to be initiated.


--- Quote ---The latest I heard about the 5D Mark III says that new batches that are shipped have a thicker top LCD panel cover that looks a little different than the one mounted on previous batches. Don’t know if it has to do with the light-leaking issue that has been observed on some 5D Mark III bodies, or if it has something to do with the rumored recall/stock delaying of the Mark III.

Canon Japan has also issued an advisory note (Google Translated)

I'm sure many people would like people who have bought the 5D Mark III or one's that are looking at buying it any day now as to what is going on with the latest/first batch of cameras.

A press release from Canon would be most helpful.
