I’ve had I’d guess a dozen lockup’s in the past 15 months. It seems to occur when I’m shooting a sequence of a lot of images. This past Saturday I was shooting gymnasts on a trampoline in slow speed continuous and it locked up. Battery out then in and it was back working. I use a Sandisk 128GB CF Express card bought from B&H so I have to believe it’s not counterfeit.
I sent it in for repair although I’m not optimistic they actually know the root cause. The survey says 50% have experienced a lockup. That seems extremely high to me and cause for concern.
I hope this does not turn into another bad experience with Canon. My last was the 1D Mk III focusing problem. It was never resolved fully. My 5D’s were all pretty rock solid.
