The canon 5D mk iii is one of the best digital SLR cameras out in the market and I highly recommend it as I have been using the 5D series since it came out. Although I have been getting an error 80 since updating to latest firmware. Has anyone been encountering the same thing?
ReplyDeleteIf you Google for error 80 you'll find that many other people suffer from an occasional error 80. It doesn't seem to be firmware related, though everyone hopes it will be fixed by some update.
DeleteFrom what I've seen so far, the remedy is to turn the camera off and remove the battery. Error 80 should then be gone next time you use your camera.
With these latest cameras both Canon and Nikon seem to have some issues with QA. Nikon had the problem where the D800 would lock up and you also had to remove the battery to get round this (has been fixed by firmware now), and the 5D III has the error 80 problem. Hopefully Canon can fix this quickly.
