Its just a hint that you should not get expectations up. Many Canon updates do things like that. The update could indeed be a minor bug fix that has been in the pipeline. Canon often announces major fixes well in advance of their availability.

Fingers crossed for AF improvement and even less noise on jpg and raw images
And maybe some video improvements too?

I thought neuroanatomist was joking and I was just joke it back, lol.
Seriously, is there Swahili language menu on 7DII in U.S.? or Germany?
And Esperanto language menu? I still think he's joking.

...well, I hope he is, lol.

I hope that this firmware update corrects for the incompatibility I am experiencing between my 7DII and Nikkor lenses. I'm going through a lot of duct tape....

What are the chances of Canon coming up with firmware update for 70d. It has center point focusing issue reported by many.

Two problems here....

First, it is called DUCK tape, not duct tape.... as the original fabric used on the tape backing was canvas duck....

Second, you don't use it on a camera.... this is the proper usage.....

+1.
For camera use we use Gaffer Tape.

This update corrects the following issue:

• The EOS 7D Mark II is not the EOS 1D C

The firmware download will include a template to be printed on cardstock and applied to the exterior of your 7D Mark II.

No Joke, Just tried gaffer, and the nikkor is preforming flawlessly now. Wish I had posted about this sooner... No need for the firmware now.

You just struck gold there, imagine a rubberised 'tough' protection cover in the shape of your fav 1D series, Ideal for wanna be pros ;D

One simple question about the updating process for firmware (which is NOT answered in any instructions that I can find)... To anyone that has actually updated firmware on a recent canon camera....Will all camera settings be reset to default and require me to go through all menus to set things back to how I want? Thanks for any help

 

[flooder]

None of my settings were reset, that I could tell.

Fixes a phenomenon in which the camera's AF function may not operate properly at a focal length of approximately 100mm when used with the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens.

Hmmmmmm....what about every other lens ever made?

Indeed. It seems Canon was unable to fix the reported issues...or unable to replicate them.
