1DX2 illuminated focus points
- Thread starter GuyF
- Start date
It's interesting how different people approach problems or perceived problems.
Clearly, the illumination was faulty but whether it is or isn't problematic to one and not to another is personal and to be respected. My concern would be, is it symptomatic of what else might be showing up and I'd be happy the camera was being replaced, otherwise I could live with it. A reason to stick with a good dealer.
Good final outcome and appreciate knowing about it via this thread.

Hi Jack,
Yeah, whilst the issue didn't appear to affect any other operation (as far as I have tested things), such an obvious and visual "featurette" does undermine your confidence in the product as a whole - if quality control missed something I noticed straight out the box, what else did they miss? From what I've read, each 1DX2 is assembled by a single person rather than on a more traditional production line. Sure we all have off days but the whole reason for the one-person-builds-it is to improve QC.
You also have to take a long term view. One of these days I might sell it (1DX3??) and any prospective buyer might ask what's up with the display points? Ah, but you only think it's an issue! Okay, then sell it to someone with lower standards than me!
Enjoy your weekend.
