It helps when the edit starts to find the pictures that resounded with the subject on the shoot. A quick review on the back of the camera with the subject and I tag all the pictures that they instantly like. In-camera rating is something that i’m using on the EOS 5D Mark III when shooting models and portraits. The other features are pretty cool too, my images from the EOS 5D3 and EOS-1D cameras have BWP4 as the first four characters of the filenames thanks to custom filename options, now the EOS 7D can have the same. I was skeptical about posting this firmware, but now a phonecall with a Canon rep confirms that the firmware is fine. Canon even denied the existance of this firmware as someone suggested in an e-mail to me. I like the addition of the feature to limit the maximum ISO setting with ISO Auto. This 7D 1.2.5 firmware came out several days ago, but apparently Canon pulled it from their servers again. The updates improve both stills and movie functions, finally EOS 7D gets manual audio levels, but also a bigger buffer when shooting RAW. Hurry up August I want to improve my camera for free.

In a somewhat strange move Canon has issued a press release announcing that version 2 firmware is coming and bringing a lot of updates to the camera.
