Lenses / Re: Canon USA Announces EF 300mm, 400mm, 500mm and 600mm L IS II Lens Firmware Version 1.1.1

Is the upgrade free?    What about the 1.4xiii and 2.0xiii?  They have processors too...

Canon really needs to find a way for us to update our own lens....  I don't care to have my $10k lens being shipped out for weeks..

Since Canon took the time to deliver the 60Da, I was hoping for a 7Dn  n for nature.   

As a bird photographer, the 7d is almost perfect.     Almost every bird shot is 50% or greater cropped, and the 7D with 18MP density and fast focusing system is key...

The ONLY issue I have with the 7d is the buffer when shooting raw.  I often run use the 16 frames in 2 seconds and miss shots waiting...   

So the 7D is near perfect for me, so I hope they don't screw anything up with the next model.

3AEB would be a deal breaker for the surge of HDR folks.   

The devil is in the details. Only 3 frames for AEB, i.e. reducing the 1-series spec to match the entry level Rebel line?  Nope.

I declare shennigans!!
