You never had a kiss like a Glasgow Kiss!

Still not getting what is english humour. I can think of british humour, I can even think of Scottish humour up to a point, can't really place a unique Englishness in humour, except perhaps 'Vicar of Dibly'.

The 7D firmware V2 announcement is back on cpm-europes website http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/news/firmware_update_to_enhance_EOS_7D.do

Exactly the same as the leaked April bulletin but now dated June 2012

Wooo!
(although still no actual files).

First they started announcing lenses that didn't appear for years later, then they switched onto announcing bodies that take nearly a year to materialise.
Now they're announcing firmware that's not available straight away ... ??? :o :o :o

THe home page of cpn-europe also now shows 2 further articles on the 7D, these have been available for awhile! I assume, with the announcement, they are pushing the 7D!

The previous main headlines were on the 1DX and 5DIII firmware update!

I have just been looking through the cpn-europe technical article http://cpn.canon-europe.com/content/education/technical/eos7d.do It seems that many of the menus have been redesigned e.g.

and a new one added to the autofocus menu:

AF WIZARD
It is also possible to register a set of AI Servo settings that can be recalled using either the Depth-of-field Preview button or the Lens AF Stop button. A new ‘AF Wizard’ guides you through the registration of the four AF Custom Functions registering the AF area selection mode, setting up AI Servo tracking sensitivity, setting AF priority for the first and second image and choosing the AF tracking method. This makes it easy to understand the AF settings and gives the option to set them in a logical order.

So it seems that a lot more has actually been done than at first meets the eye!

That reminds me of the menu in the 1DS2 ...

Does anyone know if this new v2 firmware will work with the 'barcode' version of the 7D? We have one of each, and use the barcode one with the bluetooth adapter and a bluetooth barcode reader to read id badges.

Looked around the various reports, but seen no mention of it.
