Did you think this is going to make all the people with 20Ds send them back to Canon and demand the money back????

At least this is a minor issue, that is fixable. Not so easy to correct the inherent problems in some other DSLRs. > At least this is a minor issue, that is fixable.

Please add this Canon problem to your website (eg: show a fit of objectivity). Mention that people's 20D's will be hors de combat for periods of two weeks to two months. And add a bit about back focus issues as well.

I am always pleased when a manufacturer acknowledges a problem and offers to correct it, rather than trying to hide it or claim that it doesn't exist. > Please add this Canon problem to your website (eg: show a fit of objectivity). It was added the day after the press release. I am working to keep my web site completely objective, unlike your posts. >Mention that people's 20D's will be hors de combat for > periods of two weeks to two months. This doesn't appear to be a problem with the body, but with the grip, at least according to the press release. So I don't know where you come up with the idea that the people that have a vertical grip will be without their cameras for up to two months (though accuracy has never been your strong point!). > And add a bit about back focus issues as well.

You have no understanding of the word Steven, that makes makes you either very stupid or it means you have an agender, which is it. Even the data on your site is inconsistent and only gives some of the information that is available, not surprising that it all highlights whatYOU think is important and you fail to understand that posting in a group where most of the people already have their camera system in place will not win you friends when you constatntly bag out the equipment that they are using and getting great results from. I am sure even the Canon people are sick of you, they just want to take photos. >>>Mention that people's 20D's will be hors de combat for >>>periods of two weeks to two months. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Cheers, > Alan. > Repairs on Nikon equipment are variously reported to take 2 weeks to 2 > months depending on where and what. I meant Canon there. OTOH I have heard both glorious and woeful tales regarding Nikon warranty service. Cheers, Alan.

While we're at it lets start a Minolta 7D page and list all their faults - like the 3 months it takes to get a warranty claim for faulty flash fire fixed. Or the tethered performance about on par with a Kodak where none of the functions are accessable. Maybe someone ought to start recording the faults in all the Minolta 7Ds? -- both of them! Christ... I had one for a day and despite the reliability of my Canons, I'd have Canon before a Minolta in heartbeat. Douglas > Yeah...

Good points. I would add something about service issues, but without enough data, it wouldn't be objective to do so. I know about the issues with Nikon U.S.A. servicing non-U.S.A. products, and I have personal experience with getting a grey-market Canon film camera serviced (while I waited) in the U.S.. This is the first I've heard about Minolta service issues, but I think because it isn't in widespread use we don't hear much about it. Using Usenet posts to gauge service reputation is not going to fly, unless there are massive numbers of reports of the same problem (i.e. the BG-E2 grip problems).

"objective reputation of my web site" You must be kidding - - - ROTFL About the only thing I am expecting to appear there any minute is the "Nordic Group Best Buy Award". That would really complete its "objective reputation" - - - not!! Bob >>> Yeah...

Suddenly problems with Canon can't be put on your site, but any other vendor is fair game. How much is Canon paying you? Better be a lot to completely sell out. Tom > I agree with Bob. Your 'objectivity' is long, long gone. Suddenly problems > with Canon can't be put on your site, but any other vendor is fair game. What are you talking about? I added the BG-E2 problem to my site the day after Canon announced the service campaign. I have included both pros and cons of all the cameras on my site, including Canon. > How much is Canon paying you? Better be a lot to completely sell out. Surely you can come up with something less stupid than that statement, but then again maybe not. Try to look beyond defending whatever particular piece of gear you have chosen to purchase, and don't get upset with web sites and/or people, that do not hesitate to state both the good and bad attributes of specific equipmnent. > Yeah...

Good for you. I've in fact listed what I consider shortcomings of the 7D: http://www.aliasimages.com/Max7Drev.htm and I'm adding to both the positives and negatives as a I go along. What do you mean by "tethered"? If you mean shooting controlled from a computer, no it's not very good for that beginning with it's short USB cable. If the cable could be 15 or even 10 feet long it would be great to use a laptop as storage in lieu of the Flash. IAC not much of an issue for me and I doubt it's of much of an issue for very many 7D users. I've had no problems with the camera at all, I just wish it were more like the Maxxum 9 than the Maxxum 7. Also wish it was full frame. Warranty repair? In 11 years of Minolta Maxxum ownership I've had a single failure of a flash unit. Out of warranty. Repaired no charge and returned in less than a week. Cost me S&H of less than $10.00. Cheers, Alan.

Really! Where?? (Thanks... I don't know of any that are "awesome" but a few good uns here and there). Cheers, Alan.

Also sorry if I seem as if I think this Steven whats his name is complete idiot, it's just that I think he has an agender and I think he is an idiot. Thats just my opinion though of course. > http://www.photographyblog.com/index.php/weblog/comments/canon_acknowledges_ > bg_e2_battery_grip_problems/ Actually I phrophersized that sooner or later Canon would need to do a recall on these grips several month's ago. I don't know what they are going to do explicitly but all I do when some presents a 20D with a grip is bend the contacts to provide more contact preasure. This has fixed all of them so far. Douglas |
