Firmware Version 1.2.1 incorporates the following improvements and fixes.
- Extends the timing at which the high temperature warning indicator is displayed and the timing of automatic shut down of the camera due to a rise in internal temperature during Live View or EOS Movie functions.
- Optimizes program shift when the ISO setting of the camera is set to AUTO.
- Corrects a misspelling in the French-language menu.
- Corrects a phenomenon in which vertical magenta-colored banding appears in still images taken in movie-shooting mode.(This only occurs when in Manual exposure mode and when the ISO speed is set to “H”. Note that this phenomenon only affects units with Firmware Version 1.2.0)

Cool. Upgrading now.
I like auto-ISO and I too feel like sometimes it would be nice to be able to set an upper limit… BUT, if I see the ISO has jumped to 3200 then I just open up the lens a stop, or slow down the shutter a stop. Easy. :-)
Best thing about auto-ISO? Setting manual at like 1/125 and f/2 and just going for it… Works well, I find.
I really hope that Canon will stop applying in-camera noise reduction for jpg output in EOS 7D and give the option of whether to use NR back to user.
Not having enough money to buy a 5D MarkII and owning 2 L lenses, against my better judgement I bought a 7D. I have just been on a 6 day odyssey through Europe and shot stills as well as video. These are some of the peeves I have. I wonder though if Canon ever listens to us photographers?!
If one can make some comparison to the Nikon300S where is the dual flash card slots? There is also no time lapse,which one can find on Canon’s dinky point and shoot cam’s.The on board light meter was sometimes 2 stops over which led me to underexpose.The color sat is awesome as is the motor drive.
AF when using video is sadly missing, I would put my head on a block that Canon has the technology and can apply it to the Mark II and 7D.
I shot Video using SD and the quality is pretty darn good not withstanding the problems. The 19 point focusing app is sometimes finicky and I opted to use a center point of focus all the time.The focusing app on the video setting is pretty much useless as it takes a very long time. Unless you have some kind of follow focus when shooting video anything that moves in front of your point of focus will be out.It can though be used at times for effects. Trying to shoot video using a speed below 1/60 just did’nt work.It seems that the camera has a 1/60 default speed for video. As for the sound in the video setting, one definitely needs one of the pro mic’s that are now on the market. The sound is tinny to say the least.And if you don’t have a tripod, Joby has a great new apparatus out made for DSLR cams. I hope this is not all over the place and is of some use.
Wait what?
OK, that’s one reason, but not a very strong one. I can think of several situations where mirror lockup would be useful during a series. Just because you can pre-focus it doesn’t mean you’re shooting a still object (only that you can anticipate where the object will be at some point). You may want to catch the right hard-to-catch moment, or you may just want the time sequence without image shake due to the mirror moving, if you are at high magnification on a less than rock-solid tripod and e.g. 1/10 sec exposures. One example is trying to catch the green flash during a sun set.
The point is that I don’t see how this could be hard to implement, but it would still be a useful feature.
