Are you talking about me? Or napies when you said the camere waa bad? You said OP but idk if that was towards me
I think it has been pretty well established that your issue was a misunderstanding of the 45 point AF system, and that your 50mm f/1.4 needs AF microadjustment.
Your AF microadjustment of your 50mm f/1.4 which you said had improved its performance that he said you should undo was what I was referring to, when I said telling you to undo something that worked was nonsense.
I don't think there is anything wrong with your camera.
I'm not certain if there is anything wrong with the other posters camera or not, but, eliminating other factors like we did with your camera is important before simply saying send it back.
It is next to impossible to judge how far an AF system is off using a 2D target.
In Canon's AF Microadjustment Guidebook they address this, and recommend a vertical target set up on grass, so you can see where the focus is actually falling. (front or back)
If a camera requires extreme AF Microadjustment (> +/- 15) with all lenses, yes it probably needs a trip into Canon as it is likely out of tolerance or certainly on the edge of it.
However if it requires smaller adjustment with most lenses, or some lenses require positive adjustment and others negative, then that indicates there really isn't an issue with the camera.
For the other poster, forgoing AF Microfocus adjustment and simply sending the camera back in my opinion is a waste of the user and Canon's time.
