Hi, after sending back the 1100d because of front focusing, I have now decided to get a 550d, I tried it in a store yesterday and really liked the feel so I am going to get it today. Any advice/ comments on the new camera welcome. :) thanks.

Re: new camera again
Hi, unbelievably, this one is front focus as well! that's 3 canon cameras in a row, 2 new and 1 used, and 1 pentax (new) all front focusing! I think I will give up! this is ridiculous, tried them with four different lenses, I dont understand how this can happen so many times, Ive checked and double checked, because I was thinking it must be me. Not sure what to do now

Re: new camera again
What exactly do you mean by "front focussing" i.e are only able to focus the lens on the manual mode? have you switched on the "auto" on the lens and have you changed the mode dial to M -manual? I suggest you put the mode dial to any position other then M and put the lens switch to auto and see if this cures your problem.Canon 6D; Canon 760D;Canon G15;Canon 40mm f2.8(Pancake);Canon 50mm f1.8(ii); Canon 17mm-40mm f4L;Canon EF-S 10-18mm f4.5-5.6 IS STM;Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 STM lens;Canon 24mm-105mmf4L IS;Canon 70-300mm f4-f5.6 L IS USM;Kenko 1.4x HD TC;Canon 430EX ii flash;Giottos tripod;Manfretto monopod;Cokin P filters + bits and pieces!

Re: new camera again
Yes, although the picture I have have shown there is of the ruler, I did the test with the correct chart and at 45 degrees etc. Nathaniel, I mean that when I have auto focused on a specific point it actually comes out sharp in front of the point that I focused. Example: I focus on the 'this should be in sharp focus' words on the test chart and the actual sharpest area was approx 4-6mm in front of that, and yes the auto focus is on, and it was on av mode, thanks.
