EOS 7D Firmware Update Version 1.2.1

i wish we could get some audio meters, audio controls, though we have the Juicedlink now, more internal paint box setting like EX1, so time consuming to match with other cameras that have them.

PEAKING!!!!!!! please. zebras, i can live without, cheers
 
Does anyone have a good address that we can send to? I've been able to find several Canon addresses on the web but don't know which would be the proper one. Is there a common one the 5D guys sent to?

And perhaps the mods could make a sticky of that or better yet an image link somewhere on this site.

Edit:
Anyone can use this:

I just need to know where the best place is to link it to
and maybe modify it or tell me what to change

Thanks, I added that link to the image
 
anyone know where the Link to update the v1.1.0 to 1.2.0 is,, Or do we not use this update.. Its only directed at people with 1.2.0 firmware?
 
Nevermind I googled it... Not intended for the 1.1.0 People... its to Fix issues in the 1.2.0 people who purchased the Camera this way.... Few!.. i was like I missed 1.2.0/// No!! but i dint.
 
Read through the firmware specs at a glance, still have the default version. Doesn't seem like we're getting anywhere with the updates, or am I missing something critical?

I don't see it as begging. They just need to know what you want and that enough people want it. Thats how the 5d MkII got the firmware update. The massive amount of people demanding it. If you don't tell them you need it then why should they bother taking the time to do it. They'll just think it isn't necessary. They don't charge for these updates.

Tim Smith by the way gave an interview last year, its on youtube somewhere, saying that the 5d would never get 24p but enough people pushed to make it happen.

If there isn't a demand for agc disable, audio meters, histogram in liveview, zebras, they won't bother.

Believe me, they are only interested if there are FUTURE buyers of the 7D that want it.
 
so can people upgrade the from the 1.1.0 to 1.2.1? I saw a post where the noise at higher ISO is alot Cleaner with the new verision.. People are Claiming that the High ISo noise reduction moved over to the Video side as well as oposed to just being there for pictures.. If so I want to upgrade!

You sure about that? This is what it says:

Firmware Version 1.2.1 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.2.0. If the camera's firmware is already version 1.2.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
Note that cameras with firmware Version 1.2.1, 1.2.0 cannot be downgraded to a previous firmware version (such as Version 1.1.0).

I upgraded from 1.1.0 myself. If I sell the camera I'll advertise it as having the latest firmware.

Yes it does. I really expected it to take a good while. Hopefully the next update will be what we are looking for.

I don't think this is true...I posted some screens from 1.0.8 and 1.2.1 using High ISO noise reduction in a thread and I don't see a differance

I actualy Shot some Very low low noise ISO 4000 5000 AND 6400 F2.8 17-50 LENSE, AT the Event Tonight, and On my Lcd i dont see as much grain as i used to.. the image is Clear. i think this might be something. I will post the Video as soon as I can.
