6. A long and heartfelt apology is given why a $3k professional camera cannot spot meter off-center.

7. No, this does not mean that this firmware will now allow a 5D Mark IV to do this. Please wait for the 5D Mark V, slated for release in 2073, to see if this 1-series exclusive* technology is someday added to the 5D lineup.

*Not including $600+ Nikon SLRs, or most any modern cell phone.

"long awaited"? But there are only bug fixes. No new feature!
I think Sony and Panasonic are poisoning my brain with new features. But this is the way to go. Canon way!

Disappointing. Canon, that's all? Really?

What about the absolute unusable "Rolling Shutter" artifacts and the tiny 4K crop.

I certainly love this camera, but it is 2018 after all.

*Not including [--] most any modern cell phone.

To be fair, I don't think many cell phones have spot metering. Their auto metering gives extra weight on whatever's under the focus rectangle, just like all Canon cameras do in evaluative metering mode.

Yess! #1 on the list is fantastic - like getting new lenses down-loaded for free.......

Does this firmware upgrade remove the mirror? I keep reading on all the web forums about how terrible those things are. Why they are so bad never seems to get explained but if all those clever people on the web say they are bad I guess it must be true.

There has been a lot of talk about how bad mirrors are when used in cameras, but it only actually becomes a problem if you regularly take photographs of vampires.
