    Canon 7d v2 firmware

    I agree but it is still welcome - I have just got a little SX40 and fired up the CHDK hack and it is amazing the extra features you can get by just running some software, not only the ability to shoot in RAW and superfine jpeg but also a host of other things like battery life remaining...
