Jeroen at the end of the day i think ALL the ones that were sold, are going to be between those numbers

Mine is also.And like you i havn't noticed the issue, but i'll send it anyway cuz Canon are paying.So nothing to lose.

The numbers...

"How to identify affected products:

If the serial number on the bottom of the camera is between 501001 and 546561, it could be affected by the “AF mirror adjustment issue”"

Just need confirmation that new or fixed ones actually do work as advertised and it will be mine, oh yes - it will be mine!
