I think Neuro's spot on.
I think Neuro's spot on.
Middle of August, maybe? If it's like the delivery of my Nexus 7 tablet, "middle" means the 26th of the month.
Some guy on CR just claimed they "knew" it would be the 7th... With the usual CR disclaimer of it's just what one guy reckons and is probably wrong.
I'm hanging out for it too, breathe a bit more life into my digital and stop me from buying more films for a while, but I don't see it happening before the end of the Olympics, it'll just get lost in the noise...

Was just thinking about asking this same question here. August is a long month with no Formula One races and the Red Sox still stumbling. It'd be nice if something new and exciting came along.

Well, Now that of few of you actually have the upgrade--does it really make much of a difference---what are your thoughts on the good, the bad and the ugly???
As for me---I love the Auto ISO limiting and I really like the speed increase--the increased buffer speed seems to help a little. One thing that I really looked forward to and was later disappointed about is the in camera raw processing. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking on my part; but I thought you would be able to set for example--picture styles and have them applied to the raw image so that the "style" would be applied and readable by software other than DPP. Unfortunately you have to apply the changes to each individual picture in camera---so really not much benefit, for me anyway. Its a lot faster to use the computer for this rather editing each individual picture by punching buttons on the back of a camera.
Your thoughts??

The auto-ISO setting was worth it. If I ever need to shoot a bunch of images quickly, the extra frames will be nice. I do all editing in post anyway, so none of that in-camera stuff appeals to me. It was simple enough to do the upgrade, though, so why not?

At least we have the new 5D Mark II firmware to play with....even if it isn't published by Canon. :-)
I've never been one for PP, rather get it right in-camera.
But I was reading this this morning, so now i'm re-scanning some B+W negatives I've shot recently, and sharpening them up.
I suppose it's the best I can do until that new firmware is realeased, my 7D is obsolete without it, it's being used as a door-stop until I can get my hands on this new firmware...
