We are all customers and consumers, but not fools.Īs a reminder we mention very few examples of features that CAN be improved on many current Canon DSLR cameras via Firmware Update (without hardware change): Stop crippling cameras and “free” the current ones!. We always like new cameras, of course, but we do not like the crippling that is applied to them, at all. We don’t only want to see new cameras “replacing old” models (which in fact are not really “old”, that’s mainly a marketing crazy race) then “forcing” customers to buy new ones, but also firmware updates that give to the users and customers the HUGE potential these cameras ALREADY have inside. This not only applies to Canon EOS 7D, but also to the rest even more expensive models like EOS 1D Mark IV and EOS 5D Mark II. This update is aimed to fix some issues, which is great and always very much appreciated for all Canon users, especially those ones suffering the issues.īut we can’t give up on asking Canon: why don’t they also IMPROVE some of the functions of their current expensive cameras? Important: Before downloading the firmware update, please be sure to read the entire contents of Canon’s page.
