[krazcool]

And it seems like it's been out for over 10 days on the SG website already.

Downloading.....

I just downloaded it in about 20 seconds. Honestly, I am looking forward to the increased RAW buffer size.

It's mighty fast.  Just did a JPEG only test, got 120 and stopped (don't want to kill that shutter)
RAW+JPEG I got 19 before it stopped.  RAW only 23 (could be my card).

Love the new setting to limit auto-ISO.

In-camera raw processing is actually interesting because that way I can shoot raw only without a PC on-hand.

In-camera rating of images is nice too (though it involves a lot of clicks/rotations)

Mine says the same thing, "23" but if you hold the shutter release, when it got the #23. 2RAWs have been written to the card and allows 2 more to be buffered

Take U.S. version, it's the same

You sure? It contains all languages? Or only English?

All languages in one file. They'd have more mess with preparing separate files each language. The fle wieights 17,5MB and one set of localized strings is something like 1-4kB, so you can put there all languages of the world without noticing saginificant file size growth.

But which version, the yank or Queens?

On the German Canon website, Firmware version 2.0 is only available for Mac OS X .... After installing the version from Canon USA, can I change to German in the language settings? Should be the same then, right?

It doesn't matter for what operating system you download it. The contents is the same. You can change the language - after updating process it should even be already set to the one, which was set before the update.

OK! I am glad for all of you that you got your firmware update. If I had a 7D I would be mostly interested in the improved memory management algorithms. The raw editing is something interesting too although I am not so sure it is so much practical ...

NOW! Where is my 5DMkII firmware update?

P.S Feel free to make fun since I was too making fun by saying: "wait! I don't have a 7D!"

There is some ethics behind making fun of some special people. I hope nobody will make fun of you.
