I guess I'll leave the 1.1.1 firmware in place. So far, no problems.

It's hilarious how Canon doesn't fix bugs, only phenomena. ;D

perhaps it was a phenomenal bug......

My 7D2 came back from service this week with the firmware rolled back to v1.1.0.
I don't have the wifi card so I wouldn't know if there was a problem or not.
I'll install the new one tomorrow.

No bugs, only features which they update (to other features which then need to be updated ...)

I know many people get upset to never hear new major firmware updates unlike Fuji.
But let's examine the Firmware 2.0 for Fuji XT-2

*1 Shooting Raw in brackets. (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*2 Extended ISO 125/160 (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*3 Long Bulb mode max 15mins. (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*4 1/3 Iso stops. (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*5 Iso adjustments with front dial Well you can find the ISO button on your 7D blindfolded, can't you??
*6 Minimum shutter speed setting (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*7 Fast Face recognition Dual pixel AF, someone??
*8 Focus hunting fix Fine tune AF cases?? Available since 2014 on 7Dm2!
*9 Small single AF-point (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*10Portrait/landscape orientated AF points. (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*11Change single AF point in digital zoom 1080P (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*12Eye focus in video recording. Dual pixel AF, someone??
*13Change ISO during video (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*14Continues AF during video (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2, IF back button focussed)
*15Histogram during video (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*16Audio Noise reduction for Rode mic. (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*17View images in EVF with energy saver. Not available on 7Dm2, but M5?!
*18Picture display on lcd stays active during burst shoot Not available on 7Dm2, but are we missing it??
*19Menu turns 90degrees when camera in portrait mode (Not available since 2014 on 7Dm2 )
*20Name your C-mode (Not available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*21Copyright in EXIF (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*22Voice memo to photo Left out on purpose since the 1DSm2??
*23Bracket 9frames in a row (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*24Shoot without cards! (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*25Tether fix for Lightroom (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*26Lock halfpress shutter during video (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*27Shutterspeed info on replay photo (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2, or press INFO button)
*28Bug fix for overexpose during High-burst (Available since 2014 on 7Dm2, See highlight priority??)
*29Lensfix for fujinon 18-135mm. (No issues since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*30Bugfix for the phone app shutting down That's what this V1.1.2 on 7Dm2 is for??
*31Bugfix for native flashes (No issues since 2014 on 7Dm2)
*32Bugfix for Nissen Flashes (Use Godox/Yongnauo/Canon for 7Dm2 instead)
*33Back button focus on scroll wheel (Available AF-button since 2014 on 7Dm2)

All in all, all those updates for the Fuji Xt-2 are not really that impressive considering the age of the 7Dm2 now.
And Fuji's own XT-2 does not even do flash exposure comp with their native X500 speedlite.

So, the end conclusion: Too much hype on firmwares.
Be glad you got the 7Dm2/80D option from Canon that delivers 95% of this straight out of the box from your camera store.

One of the reasons I went Canon was stability..... usually, when they release something, it works. That is one of the advantages of a conservative company...... My Oly has had a dozen updates in the time that my Canon had one.....
