while good news this is not good news for me. I'm sitting on on my 50D waiting with money in the bank waiting for an upgrade to either the 60D or the 7D. New firmware for the 7D means no replacement for the 7D. So now I wait for a 60D replacement or perhaps a cheaper full frame. I have money to burn here Canon, show me something I want

Same here, I have a 50D and am after a new 7D mkII or very similar. No way am I buying a 3 year old 7D

Over to you Canon.

Hi at all,

well, what I am really missing is the possibility of a quick change between a single-shot and fast multi-shot. The need to use the quick-menue is quite awkward. If you could assign that feature to the "jpg-raw-switch-button" for example, it would be a real improvement.

So, why assigning a switch between single- and multi-shot? If I turn on fast multi-shot I often get two frames instead of the wanted single one. Perhaps I am too slow in releasing my finger or press it down too hard... but I bet I am not the only one. And If you bump into a situation where you need fast multi-shot it just would be -pressing that button
-selecting speed
-pushing "set"
and shoot. Instead of
-pressing "quickmenue"
-operating around to the right area via stick (what often is the most annoying part)
-spin the wheel
-pushing "set"
and shoot.

Personally, for me even the jpg-raw-switch functionality for the next picture could be abandoned. I never used it and don't feel any need to do so for saving some bytes. Converting a raw-file is not an expenditure...

:)

There's a button for that on the top of the camera. I really don't know what you mean here. All you have to do is hit one button and scroll to the correct option. And you can do it all with your right hand. Why would canon add functionality that's already there.

I just don't understand this "update"... I can already shoot 25/26/27 (it tend to vary) RAW images in high speed continuous mode...

Try it with a slow CF. A fast CF enables you to write the first pictures stored in the internal buffer to the CF before the internal buffer is full.
They improved the internal buffer, meaning that you will even get more burst pictures with the same CF.

There is the AF.Drive button on the top of the camera:

- Press the AF.Drive button
- Spin the thumb wheel to select the mode
- Carry on shooting (the mode will be set when you press the shutter button to continue)

No need to go into the quick menu.

And no video crop modes - on the 7D v2, on the 5DIII or on the T4i.

Canon, you're supposed to be going forwards, not backwards. I want flexible video crop modes in all resolutions, preferably with smooth transitions rather than steps accessed through the menus.
