Whilst we dont expect things like this to happen firmware issues with products as complex as they have become are bound to happen its the responce and acknowledgement as much as anything else that is important. Canon have at least noted the error and issued a responce to actions they are taking far better than the limp reply Adobe put out regarding Lightroom 2015.2
