No RAW image in 16:9 mode
No My Color Function
No i-contrast
Poorer face detection
Poorer Servo AF

Hope that the newer version will be available soon…

I *think* lightroom can treat CA even on JPEGs. But I may be wrong. It is really meant for red/cyan colour shifts. If it is blue and thick at the highlight edges, unfortunately even RAW isn’t going to help.

Canon Europe just refers you to the same japanese site…

btw I wanna see some RAW comparisons. I’d really like to know if it’s possible to get rid of that nasty CA.

Although it looks like you can download the firmware update, every time I enter the serial number it tell me there’s an ‘access error’. Canon Technical say it’s only meant for Japanese users as it’s the jp site and to wait for the European version to be available.
