Canon 1D mk3 - no LCD softness

I can say proudly that the first of my two mk3 bodies that I tried out at a wedding two weeks ago, does not suffer from the soft LCD images that some have reported on the various forums. The display was quite sharp.  I know because I had lots of opportunity to study it closely during the wedding reception …

Yup.  Within about 200 frames into that first shoot with this fresh-out-of-the-box camera, it died on me with chronic error 99 lock-ups.  The camera would lock up on every alternate time the shutter was tripped.

To Canon USA’s credit, they repaired the camera in a super-fast turn-around time of 24 hours.

Other than that, I absolutely love this camera. No, seriously.  It is a fantastic machine.

    I received that error a few times on my canon 40d. do you know what caused that?

    i replaced my memory card and the issues seams to have fixed its self.

    i also love my 40d! i hear its similar in function is user interface as the mk3.
