Canon to offer locking ring... For $100.00

[bwana]

Thank you for using Canon products.
Effective December 6, 2010, Canon will start to provide as a chargeable service, a locking mode dial modification for the “EOS 5D MarkII” and “EOS 7D” digital single-lens reflex cameras.

This modification is available, for a fee, to owners of these cameras who would prefer a Mode Dial which locks in place and can’t be accidentally moved during normal camera operation.

For USA residents, the pricing of the locking mode dial modification service for EOS 5D Mark II and 7D cameras has been set at $100 per camera as of December, 2010. (Pricing and availability subject to change without notice.) For further details, see contact information for inquiries below.

I'll stick with my 10¢ piece of tape.

Do they have a problem with the dial accidentally being knocked to another setting?

They're that lose?

I have noticed my 50D dial moves position sometimes so this could be handy if you've got more money than brains

//directs Dolby to the loose vs lose thread//

Not really but they can be knocked out of place.

 

[Dolby]

You prolly don't have your 5d lying next to you on the seat of your 4x4 while you're driving cross-country
