There have been many reports on the forums on the softness of the images on the preview LCD of the Canon 1Dmk3. Well, I couldn’t really tell with this on my LCD display …
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.
If only it would work like it should.

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.
