C100: C100 C300 C500 Firmware Update Schedule and Information

Initial tests after a quick play with continuous recording (don't really know what I'm doing!):
I recorded 5 start/stops using the continuous recording over a two minute recording period:
Opening the SD card STREAM folder shows 1 MTS (full length 2 minute recording).
Mac Finder shows 5 clips in the Quicktime viewer (numbered 0 to 4, correctly marked recordings).
Adobe Premiere CC imports only one continuous clip of the full length recording.
FCPX shows 5 clips (numbered 1 to 5) in the import window, however they are duplicates of the full clip and they do not import (Import All/Selected does nothing).
I guess we wait for software vendors to catch up, unless someone else has better luck with it...

come on canon, can the c100 get some more fps lovin'? I dont mind the 60i, but if the same sensor can do the above, why cant we get 1080 60p? :( Thanks for the menu options on the body. I've actually ran into an instance in which I wanted to do exactly that, so thats a plus.

Thanks TMS for the awareness post.

Even the $20k+ C500 can't do 1080 above 30fps internally so why would they even think about having this on their lowest priced camera?
 
As posted by a member.

Firmware Version 2.1.3.1.00 incorporates the following improvements and fixes:
1. Supports exFAT file system of CF cards over 128 GB, which decreases the waiting time required for accessing the card before being able to record footage.
2. Simplifies the process when fine-tuning the preset White Balance values.There seems to be two versions, one with Dual Pixel AF upgrade, and one for cameras without upgrade.
