I love the rare opportunity to shoot high school football in daylight! These three were captured with a Canon 1DX III body equipped with an EF 200-400 f4 with integrated selectable 1.4X extender. I love the versatility of this lens and it is wonder...

My 1DX II and 1DX III bodies also use LPE19 batteries and I use them heavily without special care and typically I get 3 to 4 years before performance is significantly off. These bodies (four of them) get used in all sorts of conditions and I don't t...
Agree with Rick as to the economics of repair, a refurb body would be a better deal than that repair.
Looking at past "complex" images isn't a great way to find damage to a sensor. You don't know when the damage occurred so you would want to look at...
