Canon EOS 1D Mark III sub-mirror fix
In my Nov 1, 2007 commentary on the Canon EOS 1D Mark III sub mirror fix, I wrote “...customers deserve a substantial and tangible acknowledgement of the inconvenience and expense. Doubling the warranty to two years instead of one year would seem appropriate”. Canon has apparently following through to some degree, apparently extending the warranty to one year beyond the repair, at least in some cases—whether this is a general policy is unclear, but I’ve asked Chuck Westfall of Canon to clarify.
Update: Chuck Westfall of Canon USA confirmed today the warranty extension as follows: “Canon USA is extending the warranties of EOS-1D Mark III cameras repaired for AF mirror adjustment”.
