Looks like a worthy upgrade to me for a few reasons:Originally Posted by Busted Knuckles
1. The increased burst rate certainly helps. When shooting sports, nothing is more irritating than running out of buffer space at that critical moment. So even just a few frames improvement would be worth the upgrade.
2. Having the custom picture settings applied to the RAW file is something that us non-DPP users might appreciate and find worthy of the upgrade. Since we have never had this option before. I am not sure if I will use it or not, but it is certainly worth exploring.
3. Being able to Limit the Auto ISO is another big advantage. I like useing auto ISO, especially when specific aperature and shutter speeds are critical, but I never liked being unable to limit how far auto-iso will go. If I can set it to stay between 100-800, then I would be a happy camper.
4. The one thing I am dissapointed in is that they did not increase the number of frames that can be used when bracketing shots, such as in HDR. I would love to have more than three fames available for this, but I think they intentionally reserve this option for the pro bodies.
All in all, I am excited about this firmware release and will be downloading it as soon as it is available.
Good topic Knuckles, I am curious what others have to say.
Bob
