The G15 has just come to market and knocked down the price of the G12, so I bought a new G12 to replace a broken G9.<br /><br />The G12 still has the blank-screen problem when it's locked focus in manual mode with a non-canon wireless flash trigger in the hot-shoe. It'll fire the strobes OK, and the resulting images are great, but the camera is virtually impossible to use with external strobes if you need to focus then compose the shot. It's a major flaw and reluctantly I'm going to have to return mine and buy an older G11 or earlier model.<br /><br />Poor show Canon.

After messing with it, sometimes it works, other times it doesn't (triggering the flash).<br /><br />Canon telling you they've never heard of the problem before is so typical of Canon. I wish I had a dollar for every time they did that. Heck, call them up and tell them you have a 1D mark III with focusing problems and they'll likely tell you that you're the first person ever to bring this to their attention.<br /><br />I hope they fix it, it's a major pain in the rear.Military Armshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14949847937887324378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7419727380035575565.post-9963492980408655002010-10-17T20:27:58.304-05:002010-10-17T20:27:58.304-05:00Does the screen stay dark permanently after taking...Does the screen stay dark permanently after taking the picture? Or does it become normal after taking the picture? (Or do you have to turn the camera off and on to reset the screen)?<br /><br />If it stays dark, that´s a pretty bad bug.Daysihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01263208714920731116noreply@blogger.com
