Why don’t update for Canon 5D Mark II ???
Please Canon, wake up!!!!
May be hard to offer more than Magic Lantern firmware which is free in a week or so.
You have right!!!!
Ciao!

Have updated to ver 2 . Odd thing now, – I’ve left camera on for about 10 mins – so it has “auto” power saved , however the memory access RED LED continues to flash every few seconds (even if it wasn’t flashing before power save mode). My 5D mk II doesn’t do that. Don’t recall that before on the 7D, suspect there may be a battery drain issue to new firmware now.
Well, that’s just bloody odd. Firmware is not available for ML users. If you go under Lion is shows up. That file seems to work fine as I just updated my 7D without any hiccups.
You may want to update your initial post to reflect this Eric.
The update referred to in reply to Andrea is ML for 5D MK II. Update giving me issues is the Canon 7D Firmware 2.0.0 . Hope this helps.
Not you Eric, Eric Reagan ;)
:)
BTW Have raised support case with Canon over issue
No, since it shows up under Lion I didn’t bother. Cankn Rumors mentioned it, so I am betting canon will fix it soon.
Thanks for this alert. Apparently the one I signed up for with Canon when I registered my camera doesn’t work.
I dounloade the firmware and upgraded my 7D. No problems, everyting works fine.
I just wander when the GPS will be available here in South Africa, I am very exited to get my hands on one.
I updated to 2.0.0 today for my 7D . Was super excited, particularly for the audio meter, but now I’m having a serious problem. There are three, fuzzy and faded bars horizontally across the LCD and when I test the video. If I take a shot they are not there. It is the craziest thing. Anyone have any advice? I’ve already tried to reinstall the upgrade, but to no avail.
