Camera’s still knackered!
14 12 2005I took the camera out at the weekend for the first time to take some proper shots since I got it back, and much to my disgust, I found that the problem that was there (front focusing) prior to Canon taking it off me for four weeks, was still there, in fact, if it’s anything, it’s worse than it was before.
I took over 300 shots, from shots at a rugby match, to portraits, to candids out in the garden, and not one of them is 100% in focus. Ok, some are close enough as it almost makes no difference, but, from over five grands worth of kit, you’d expect pretty much every shot to be in focus all the time!!
So, it’s going to be going back to Canon on Friday, which, is going to leave me camera-less for the Christmas unless they get their act together and do something to arrange cover for me for the Christmas, as I’ve a few projects lined up!!

This was initially apparent with the Canon EF-S 17 - 85mm lens that I bought with the camera, but, became a whole lot more apparent when I purchased a Canon EF 70 - 200 f2.8 L late last year. The camera was clearly ‘front focusing’ by quite a large amount, and so, the camera was sent off to Canon for repairs. [...]
