Hi All,


This is my first time dealing with a firmware update (a non-issue when I shot film, and I got my 7D just around the time an update was released for my T1i, so I didn't bother).


There was the recent 'issue' with the 5D2 2.0.3 firmware update, resulting in release of 2.0.4 a few days later. For the 7D, it looks like the 1.2.0 firmware was never released publicly, but some cameras were sold with that version, and Canon indicates a specific problem with 1.2.0 that's addressed in 1.2.1.


I should note that I don't use Live View or movie mode that often or for long durations, I don't use the P mode, and if I did I wouldn't use Auto ISO anyway, and I don't speak French. So, based on the list of changes with 1.2.1, I have no real need for it.


So, is it advisable to perform the 1.2.1 updatefor the 7D right away, or wait a while to see if there are 'issues'? Should I apply it at all? Does Canon include 'undocumented' features in firmware updates that may be useful/necessary?


Thanks for your advice!
