Canon W-E1 Camera Compatibility & Specifications

It's less an accessory than it is a key to extending the 7D2's lifecycle and (to a lesser extenet) reassuring 5DS users that there's more than one great offering in the 5D camp amidst all this 5D4 fanfare.

I would argue that's why Canon is effectively giving this adaptor away.

Very true and no complaints here.

Unless you have a 5D3, but Canon has a special website for those folks who want this card to work with their 5D3 cameras.

Hmm, there's another one I found, too:
More 5DIIIs

Therefore the designers of the 5D3 would have had to have had foreknowledge of the W-E1 design/specification in 2011/12!

and the 5DS / 5DSR designers did hav that foresight, right?

It is just a few lines of firmware code, nothing else. ML can do it. Canon should be able to do it. They just do not WANT to. Because of GREED, GREED, GREED.

wow .. imagine that .. a company wanting to make money.

what the hell is with that?

So you support greed I guess. There is a difference between making a profit and just being greedy. Greedy to the point that they cant do a simple line change even for a price but make you spends thousands on a whole new product just for a small feature. I have a 5d3 5dsr and a 5div but i know canon is greedy and will admit it. I like to save money if possible. Do you?
