1dx sucks said:
Hey thanks! BTW, I got my camera December 2014 and had it exchange for new ones 4X. Two times, for me is ok, but 4x???. Then I got tired of returning defective cameras so I sent the last one for repairs. I got back the camera but the issue still exist. Makes me wonder how those pros take care of those issues. The camera has a huge potential hence I switched from nikon to canon. I guess I will wait until a newer model comes up and hopefully taken care of this issue.
Generally they don't treat them like very expensive toys or jewelery. They are just tools and having dust in the viewfinder isn't an issue for most pros, neither is having spots on the sensor or any number of other 'issues' that keen amateurs and enthusiasts have the time and energy to obsess about. Sure some products in any production run are lemons, but anybody that thinks they got 4 defective products in a row is statistically more likely to win the lottery (though somebody does) or suffers from OCD and doesn't understand these things are just image making tools.
I don't want to dismiss the OP or others who may have legitimate issues, but some people on this and other forums do seem really obsessed about certain problems. I have dust in my viewfinders and lenses, spots on my sensor I and Canon can't seem to clean and my AF doesn't work 100% of the time on every lens, but it doesn't keep me from taking pictures.
Heck, every camera I have ever owned gets dust in the viewfinder. I've always thought this was just the nature of the beast. I mean, how can one keep dust out of a camera that is opened to the elements every time a lens change is performed? I've never sent one in for dust. Never. Oil spots that build up on the sensor would upset me though. I just have not had the problem, but I don't yet own a 1Dx either.
Exchanging a camera that many times in a month? Good Lord! "I got my camera December 2014 and had it exchange for new ones 4X. Two times, for me is ok, but 4x???. Then I got tired of returning defective cameras so I sent the last one for repairs." WHAT?! WHAT?!!!! That just seems too weird to be believable to me.
I want a 1Dx so bad I can taste it. It is almost a sin as bad as I want it. If I can ever swing it, I'll get one. This thread doesn't scare me off. For every one person that has a problem and posts it across multiple websites under different user names (just because different user names for different sites makes sense... not because they are dishonest) there are a thousand more who have not had any trouble at all that never post ANYTHING... good or bad. That doesn't count the outright trolls who get their jollies posting negatively about products they do not even own.
I honestly feel for those having a real problem. However, calling into question the honor and work ethic of the Japanese (somebody did) is just plain hysterical behavior. Heck, at least they still manufacture cameras.
Someone said that they can remember when Japanese products meant quality. Yup, but I am old enough to remember when it meant cheap junk too.
Anyone so disgusted with Canon over this that they are going to switch to another manufacturer surely wouldn't be so unethical as to unload all their Canon "junk" onto some unsuspecting craigslist or ebay buyer would they? Of course not... so just box it all up and send it to me. I'll pay for the postage and you can sleep well at night knowing you didn't charge some poor sap to haul your crap away. Yup, I'll even take those horrible 1Dx's. ;D
4 exchanges since December huh? I just can't get over that one. Twice is okay, but 4 times is too much for anybody. LOLOLOLOLOLOL! I wouldn't sell you a bologna sandwich! You've had 5 (FIVE!) brand spanking new 1Dx cameras in your hands since December. Wow! Your screen name is "1dx sucks". Is that why you joined this forum? To spin that tale?
