Canon 1dx shutter problems

[IsaacImage]

Hello dear friends.
Even though I'm still in love with my 1DX,
Still a "bit" of disappointment from the last repair.

205k on the body which is 2 years old.
Just came back from Canon Mississauga.

Still think the toughest bodies on the planet can have a longer live.
And it's never been on the rain or desert or any other crazy weather environment strictly Weddings and never used 14 fps.

Especially frustrating to see Canon's advertising where they are repeating every single time - "performance without compromise, for up to 400,000 cycles. "
And of course it's not covered by Canon Canada warranty as body is 2 y.o.

Not good Canon, not good.

I had a shutter mechanism fail at 20k frames... they're mechanical parts, bound to have failures of some type, it's just the law of averages, they can't be perfect...

Yeah, but this " law of averages" in those bodies need to be almost "Zero" for that amount of $.
Otherwise the Brand should be responsible for that and cover it even if the warranty is over.
