11 months later and we get no UI improvements or new features.

Looks like the only firmware update I can see on the Canon site is for the PL version.

I can see lot of people getting disappointed that 50/60p at 1080 hasn't materialised.

Re: New Canon C300 Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 Fixes Color Fringing: Texas Media Sys
 

Any rumours on a true firmware update to address operational functions?

Re: New Canon C300 Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 Fixes Color Fringing: Texas Media Sys
 

I haven't seen any. I've given up hope.

Re: New Canon C300 Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 Fixes Color Fringing: Texas Media Sys
 

Oh well that was a short lived camera for me then. Basic functions are required that a firmware update could resolve this issue.

Re: New Canon C300 Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 Fixes Color Fringing: Texas Media Sys
 

It's got basic functions galore. Still a great camera.

Re: New Canon C300 Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 Fixes Color Fringing: Texas Media Sys
 

For Pal users we are missing some basic functions. NTSC users don't have this problem.

I would REALLY like to get a Firmware-Update, but nevertheless:

I LOVE THIS CAMERA

Just shot with it today from the inside of a car on a bright sunny day. Its the first cam I ever used to handle a situation like this in such a graceful way. I dont understand all the hate.

Someone just needs to get in front of Canon at NAB and straight up ask. If they don't announce anything at NAB then I think all hope is lost.

Getting an answer would be great from Canon.
