Canon UK has reposted the 7D Firmware version 1.2.5 on their web site. This is the same firmware we previously posted.
Changes in this Firmware
Firmware Version 1.2.5 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.
* Fixed a rare phenomenon in which there were rare cases where movie files taken could not be opened when repeatedly shooting movies with specific CF cards.
* Fixed a rare phenomenon in which there were cases where “Err 02″ appeared when repeatedly shooting still images with specific CF cards.
* Fixed a phenomenon that occurred when using high-capacity (32 GB or greater) CF cards: If either a CF card with only a little available space remaining or the battery was removed and then reinserted into the camera, and then the user attempted to start shooting movies immediately, shooting would stop.
* Improved the writing/reading speeds when using UDMA 7-compatible CF cards.
* Fixed a phenomenon that occurred when custom function C.Fn 4-1 was set to assign IS start to the AF stop button on the lens: When used with lenses that do not have an AF stop button, the IS function would not work.
* Corrected some mistakes in the menu screens displayed in Arabic and Portuguese. (This applies to models in overseas markets. The models for the Japanese market do not display those languages.)

Does it fix the terrible front focusing issues with the AF system? My AF repeatedly focuses 3-4inches in FRONT of the proper focal plane, regardless of lens (Single Shot focus, manual AF Point Selection modes). Ugh... I hate this body. Wish I never sold my 40D. I'd sell the 7D and get something else if it wasn't so damn worthless due to it's now atrocious reputation and garbage quality photos. She goes in for the 3rd time to Canon Service tomorrow -- not that I expect anything to really get fixed at this point.
Thanks for stealing my 1,600 well earned dollars, Canon. There aren't enough words in the English language for how much pain I wish upon your company for selling an "upgraded" camera that is a low level pile of crap.
The salt in the wound is how Darwin Wiggett got better pictures on his XSi. http://darwinwiggett.wordpress.com/2009/11/11/the-canon-7d/
Somebody please come and beat me up. Punch my eyes out, and make me bleed. Maybe the pain of a severe disfigurement would distract me from the utter turmoil I've been in since p*ssing away over a grand-and-a-half to buy this trash of a camera body.
I hate you Canon. I really really hate you.

btw, while in the Canon site, check the new eos fcp import plug in, it is available. You have to scroll to "osx", if you select
10.6 nothing appear ... there is also a new version of eos utility (or perhaps did I missed its release few days ago ...)

I sold mine for $1575 off ebay. I bought it for a year ago for $1400 (with cashback from Ebates).

Thanks for the idea hsbn... although I hate the crummy "fees" eBay hits you with, this may be my best bet. I'd consider waiting for a 5D mkIII, but considering how bad my "first adopter" experience has been with the 7D, I think it's best I go to the tried and true 5D mkII at this point.
Lesson learned... Canon's QC on new products has plummeted to levels I'd never thought possible. I would go to Nikon were it not for all the Canon glass I've invested in.
Arrrgggghh!
