I doubt it, but you never know I guess.
Of course the irony here is that as far as I can see the mk IV is still not shipping in Canada, and we already have a firmware update!
Given the history of the mkIII, if canon wanted a QUIET
fix there’s no way the cover story would be a focus improvement.
That sounds reasonable to you? Grinding out the mirror?
Mine will be in hand on Friday, and I have very little or no interest in what Nikon is doing.
