The 1D MkIII was a disappointment to a lot of photographers and some are still having probs.

I hope this is not a major problem and can be rectified easily, but reports have surfaced that the 5D MkII suffers from a problem with black dots appearing within the highlights.
Apparently they show up along high contrast areas and look almost like blooming in reverse.
There's some examples here:

Some believe they only show up when converting the RAW using DPP but not ACR 5.2.

There's even an example from someone imaging Orion.

Hopefully it is a firmware problem and can be rectified easily.
