p.9 #1 · Canon 5D Mark III firmware update in April 30th 2013!

Finally, will update tonight. Hopefully 5D III will work as well as 1D X at f/8 AF. This might be reason enough to sell 1D IV having two cameras that can AF at f/8 and with 4 assist points and almost identical set-up.

i haven't read this thread.

is there any reason to do this upgrade if you don't care about f/8 af?

fixes the occasional MFA to -8 bug, increases speedlight assist AF speed, fixes a few obscure bugs, clean HDMI out enabled, ruins full compat with many third party batteries

, I think one or two other little things

That link doesn't say anything about the -8 MDA bug, 3rd party batteries or speedlite assist AF speed Skibum, have you got any link for that?
