7d Firmware Upgrade

[Raid]

For the 7D, you *must* connect the GP-E2 via USB, hot shoe connectivity is only for the 5DIII and 1D X.

Canon states, "†When the EOS 7D is used with the GP-E2 the following restrictions will apply: a) geotagging function will not work for movies while recording; b) geotagging features will not work for movies when using the Map Utility; c) electronic compass information and automatic time setting is not available; d) transmission via the hot shoe is not possible."

What I don't know is if the GPS must be connected to the hot shoe to work as well. If it can be moved, even dangled from the cord, it may make it more usable.

I tend to agree that it looks like the 7D II will be delayed.

Another bit of information on card speeds:

It looks as though only the SanDisk Extreme Pro is UDMA 6 capable and they only have one UDMA 7 card that's the 128GB Extreme Pro.

So I won't be getting a maximum burst rate of 25 or even 23.
