Firmware: EOS-1D X Version 2.0.7

What about the 1DC? When are we likely to see these updates? Or do these problems not occur on the 1DC?

If you need to have the firmware updated on your 1DC, all you have to do is ship the camera to Canon and they'll take care of it.

I understand that process, my 1DC is up to date with the latest firmware (1.3.5). I am asking why there haven't been updates to the 1DC since May 2014 where there have been several for the 1DX in this time and their stills functionality is almost identical.

Did anyone decide to update? Any problems/surprises?

I updated, I found the level to be more precise, but not much else. I think I'm only imagining it that the phase AF is even more accurate now, but that maybe because I no longer use the 50 Art :

I have also updated but not put it through a major workout since, just messed around with it.

It all seems to work as it should though, and I do hope that the level is better than before, there were times in the past when I had to take a few shots of something purely because the level was saying things were straight, when they quite clearly weren't. It's quite funny how we, or at least I in this case, can question our own judgement when we believe something to be wrong but technology is saying it's right!!

Was hoping that they would add multiple my menu screens similar to 7D M2.

I would find that valuable.

Has anyone figured out what this does?

Improves the AF controllability when shooting in Live View mode with a wide-angle lens (fixed focal length or zoom).

I'm curious also, wonder if the 2470 classifies as a "wide angle" lens?

Installed and working at least.

I'm hoping it fixes the issue that happens when you scroll to the edges of the LV AF area (which isn't the edge of the screen) and the cursor/zoomed view snaps back to the center. Hopefully it will just stop now, and won't surprise me by jumping back to center making me scroll all over again. Or better yet, maybe it will go to the edges of the screen and stop there.

I finally got around to updating my 1D X & 5DIII last night and I'm very happy to report that it does fix this really annoying issue! I'll be a much happier LV camper now ;D
