This symptom happened to me a few months ago on the 1D Mk2, the repair sheet indicated the following parts were replaced: - Shutter assembly - Shutter lever arm The part that REALLY ticked me off was it took Canon Canada 5 weeks, even with CPS, for them to tell me what was wrong, and another week to fix the camera. While I did have the loaner from Canon during this time, I felt I was hand-cuffed with the 1D with the less robust AF, no slower than ISO 200, no faster than ISO 800, alarming power consumption rate such that I had to constantly turn off the camera to prolong the charge...... It had been so long waiting for the repair I even forgot to ask for the replaced parts back.
