Over the past few days I have lost quite a few shots because my brand new 1DIV keeps locking up with an err20 code and then when I restart it the settings have changed to weird ISOs and apertures and in the heat of shooting I do not always notice it. I am getting REALLY tired of this. Nothing like having the camera jump to ISO 1000 and f 2.8 in bright sun on white sand beaches... Thank God I go home for a few weeks tomorrow and can ship the piece of crap back to Canon and hope they will get it fixed.
