Speed said:I see that not many people are reporting the error 80 message lately.
My wife & I have each had error 80 messages in the last couple of weeks shooting a gymnastic event.
We both missed some really important shots.
Both cameras have had the 1.06 firmware update.
Anyone else still experiencing issues?

A bit outdated now, though, since this issue was addressed with a firmware update.
I've got the `Err 80` showing on the screen yesterday (August, 19th) with the red lamp glowing all the time even when I turn off the camera. Error appeared after I switched lenses. Latest firmware is installed.hhelmbold said:I am still having this err80 problem and have the latest firmware. I first thought it might be a lens issue, but now realised it's not since I got the error with a different lens. What I am wondering if this has to do with the notice Canon sent out regarding the lubrication on the 1D X? I have not yet had this done and my camera is one of the models that needs it, maybe someone can confirm if this is related?
