A couple of weeks ago Canon released firmware v1.3.2 for the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV. It was a minor firmware update, but earlier this week Canon pulled the firmware. The exact reason Canon pulled it was unknown at the time.

Thank you, but I gonna wait a bit again when the fixed update is out - to be on the safe side. But I appreciate that Canon still releases firmware updates for the 5D4. I still like to use mine, and I don't care about those "DSLRs are dead" sort of postings. The future of DSLRs is over, no doubt, but as long as my old steam engines can deliver good images in my steam-punk-hands, I use them.

Incidents like this is why I delay updating my devices by 30-90 days. This gives the manufacturer the opportunity to fix any flaws that early adopters will encounter.

Last thing a working photographer or someone like me want to deal with is down time due to faulty software.
