Canon 7D firmware, and the 650D

[hari ari]

Info suggests that it is due in August.

Grant, you convinced me and ODP offered a good deal on a trade in, so I now have a 7D and have one 40D less. Picked it up this morning, met Sean too and sampled their excellent coffee, whilst ogling all the girls

Now plodding through the manual.

What are the trade-in numbers? Say for a 30D->7D.
I was there looking at a used 7D, couldn't pull the trigger because of it "war scars" and price, this trade-in story has me all.......

The cameras tend to move relatively fast though... currently there is a 1DmkIII for about R15k in the cupboard

The 650d is in stock at dions.

Still no sign of the much anticipated v2 firmware for the 7D !!!
Checked the Canon site today and still only v1.2.5
apparantly it's due tomorow (01 August 2012)

[Forgiss - Sean Nel]

yep... I get a lot of people asking me via email if I have tested it out, but nobody could actually give me a link...

I was kind of hoping when cameratek supplied me with a 7D loan unit that it might have accidentally found it's way onto it… but it hadn't

Hi all, there is a new 7D instruction manual posted on the canon USA website (28/6/2012). It refers to firmware 2.x.x. If you download the manual zip file there is a small PDF showing the changes (see attached).

[Alvin]

has anyone heard, seen,or read of any further update from Canon if they are going to in fact release the v2 firmware as promised a while back for tomorow?

[Alvin]

checked again this morning - dissapointment - still not released!

[Anonymous]

Firmware v2 will roll out across the region from August 2012.

As disappointing as it is August has 30 other days that qualify so I'll wait until September before crying foul.

[Alvin]

I think I read somewhere that they said 1st week in August - so lets give them another 6 days

Hahahaha...

Alvin, you do realise the 1Dx was something like 9 months late?

[Deon RacePics]

I check Canon's website once a week to see if the firmware is available. I shall patiently wait, not sure whether it is going to make a serious difference to my use of the cam.
The one thing which I am contemplating is switching to RAW completely

[Alvin]

Still nothing!!! Unless there is some other site to check?

Hi Alvin - on the Canon Australia webpage the release date was given as 7 August 2012 - lets hope that is accurate:

Canon's R&D dept are still struggling to achieve what the Marketing department promised.
