I just used my R3 for the first time since the new firmware update and I immediately ran into issues on my first image. The camera froze up and gave me an error code, then it power cycled on its own and took the photo. This happened between 7-10 times today. I will be sending the camera into Canon first thing next week, as this is unacceptable and they need to find out what's going on with it.
I have well over 100,000 images taken on this camera with the original firmware and this has never happened before, so I know it must be related to the new firmware release.
Please share any of your experience with the firmware here, but I just wanted to let everyone one know they should probably wait on updating...the camera is no longer reliable.
UPDATE: It appears this issue is at least partially linked to shooting bracketed exposures with electronic shutter. I can get the camera fail in E-shutter than switch to mechanical and it works, then switch back to E-shutter and it fails again.
