Download Firmware 1.2.1 link for 5DIII

[Steven_urwin]

So I've found a link to the new firmware... I'm not claiming any responsibility for this, but other people on the site seem to have gone through with it, with good results. Apparently someone got a copy of the new firmware directly from Canon, on a memory stick, when they sent in there camera.

Let me know how you fair with it, if you do decide to try it

Happy shooting

This is where I found that link

Canon USA has a link posted for April 30th. I'm waiting at least until then, they still might be tweaking it.

Updated fine... I'm not a video guy, so I can't comment about the HDMI out, but I wanted this to speed up the AF assist lamp issue... and it does seem a lot snappier (excuse the pun).
I'm a much happy camper atm. I'll have to wait until I'm in work later today to really walk it through it paces, but I'll let everyone know how I get on

I complete understand, and respect your comment... I guess I'm just far too impatient. As as an early adopter of the camera in the first place, I'm quite happy to be a Guinea pig for it, if that is the case. I just wanted to give people the option, as I was hunting for a link myself.

[Jason Montalvo]

It installed and seems to be working but I cant give it an acid test until a bit later. Noticed a new FW option to set the HDMI out FPS. Defaults to auto vs 24 and 60i

Updated my camera with no issues. This video was captured via hdmi to a Blackmagic Intensity Pro capture card.

Personally I am waiting for the official release, but here is the md5sum from the file I pulled from the web

$ gpg --print-md md5 5D300121.FIR
5D300121.FIR: 3C AB 84 0C D3 D4 CF 17 5B 5B 4E 0E A5 14 EB A9

I am going to compare that to what Canon releases next week.
