I have to say I am excited for this update! What caught my eye the most was this part: “the new firmware will allow for RAW images to be processed directly in
the camera! This is a huge timesaver as it is no longer necessary to
download RAW images to your computer in order to retouch them and
re-save them as JPEG files.” — this is the first i have heard of processing RAW files IN the camera?! How does this work, does anyone know?

It depends on a number of factors. For presentation videos where the camera is far from the subject, on-cam mics are a tad difficult to deal with. The H4N also has professional-grade features like limiter/compressor and true stereo. If you’re just at a wedding, no big deal – use on-camera (Rode or Sennheiser) mic, but for most other shots, a separate recorder is mandatory. Look at the pro movie industry – zero on-camera audio – everything has a separate and synched audio track.

so is this to calm people because there maybe issue or delays in a 7D mkII upgrade ? I doubt they will release something like this for the 5D mkII because it would interfere with those buyers who are on the fence over a mkII or mkIII , us canon 5d mkII owners just aren’t that fortunate. besides can firmware make a camera focus better !!!

English is not my mother tongue, but this one is very easy to understand, both is true. I mean you can set the maximum (highest) limit in auto ISO between 400-6400 what makes you can adjusts the ISO Auto range between 100-6400. You can select anything from 100-400 up to 100-6400.

H4N is not needed and is way too expensive as it is.

Rode Pro videomic works perfectly fine, and you dont have to spend time syncing anything.

Whoever told you H4N is the only way to go is retarded or just a salesperson for Zoom.

Manual Audio control is the most needed for me. I wanted to upgrade to Mark 3 but after this update I will just pick up some good lenses instead and get another 7D maybe,.
