Will I have to update the firmware of this unit in order for it to work with my 5D iii &amp; 600ex-rt's? It seems necessary, and I can only find Windows firmware, not Mac.

Yes, I had to update the firmware to use it with my 5D Mk III and the Canon 600ex-rt. They do not yet have a file for Mac. I have Boot Camp for Windows set up on my Mac with Windows 7 on that partition so I was able to download the files needed to perform the firmware upgrade utilizing my Windows Boot Camp partition on my iMac. It works flawlessly now after the firmware upgrade.

More of a comment than an answer. I'm looking as well, but it will be awhile. So far, I see very little difference because I shoot mostly full manual mode (throw back to my days before auto anything). That said, I like the WiFi and GPS in the 6D and hope it's still available when I'm ready to buy. I travel a lot, and having the extra info embedded it awesome!

Marsha:I am working with Windows 7, 64 bits and works fine; however, I am a photography fan, and I got a strong frustration with the quality of the converted files. It is something like 5 Mega pixels.For that reason, I bought a 20MP converter. I will receive it next week. If you have any question, please do not hesitate in contacting me, I'll be glad to share my experiences.Best regards, Ricardo

I don't have a 7D I have a 5D Mark iii. The remote switch acts just like the shutter button on the camera when I use it. Half press gives a beep only when focus lock has been achieved, full press and the shutter is activated, no beep at that time and it also locks for long or timed exposures. I have the lesser model too that I use with a 60D it does the same thing with no problems. You might check your setting for focus on the camera i.e. one shot, AI Focus, or AI Servo. My remotes seem to work great, use them all the time....if this doesn't help maybe try contacting canon.

I have a question, I just picked out this camcorder as a Christmas present. My family just purchased it for me. I will be using it for my Senior Project Documentary (Needed to graduate college). I have a new Macbook Pro and will be editing on Final Cut Express 09. Does anyone know how the video quality will be with that? Also, will I have any compatibility issues? Lastly, how is the audio on this? I was going to invest into the external microphone. Has anyone had any issues with audio thus far? Thanks.

I can't recommend the EzFoto AF-Confirm adapter for a 5D3. It doesn't work on my 5D3, although it works perfectly on my 7D.

I see no reason why this won't work. I'm not a mac user, but have 2 Drobos connected to my PC--a first generation 4-bay and the 5D. Both run beautifully and are running at USB 2.0 speeds. I hope this helps...seeing some negative answers already, but I've been more than satisfied with my setup.

Imagine my pleasant surprise! This afternoon, I had an email from Canon that indicated that my (registered) MX700 printer was affected by this widely known problem with the FAX picking up the phone. There is now a firmware download available from Canon's website to version 1.08. The firmware updater is available on both Mac and Windows. Hurray!

Yes, I use mine all the time with my 7D and 5D Mk III. The manual is a bit sketchy, in my opinion, but practice with it. Hint: for long (&gt; 30 sec) exposures---mount on tripod (obviously), select "Bulb," select "Mirror Lock Up," set Drive to 2-sec delay, AF to OFF, exposure to Manual, set f-stop to desired value. On the Remote, set "Long" to desired exposure interval plus 2 sec. Start the timer--the mirror locks up, 2-sec delay starts then shutter opens for the desired exposure interval ("Long" setting minus the camera's 2 sec. delay). At night if I'm going to do multiple exposures I turn off the Image Review and select appropriate noise reduction setting---which might be "Off" if the added noise reduction processing time interferes with doing closely-spaced exposure intervals.

This camera works fine with my new Mac (OS X) - it just recognizes the camera like any other.Also worth noting, I stuck in a 2GB SD card, and it's working fine so far - although the manual says not to use any larger than 1GB. Not sure what will happen when/if I store more than 1GB of photos on it, but I can keep that from happening.Changing the date on the camera is my priority now (searching for a way to do this lead me to this discussion). Any pointers?

Anyone know if this will work with a Sigma EF-500? I can't see why one would need a Nikon-brand flash unit for it to work... anyone?

You can download it using that link, but you must check the current firmware version to assure you are using the correct update. There is a problem with their instructions to do that. They should say:Turn on the 3D camcorderPress the joystick to enter the playback menuMove the joystick down and hold for a minimum of 5 secondsPress and hold the photo-shutter button while still holding the joystick.After about 3 seconds, you'll see the status menu. Check at 4th position "FW Ver:"...

Where did you find the drivers. I have searched Canons website and can find no Mac drivers for this machine.

Dear friend,Did the software make your Sony DCR-SR42 compatible with your Mac? We're looking at purchasing the Sony ourselves?Thanks.Sincerely,Mac

I am waiting for a solid answer from a 5D3 user. For those who don't own a 5D3, please do not add to the confusion by saying practically "I guess so". Canon has changed the E-TTL digital interface and made several 3rd party flashes unable to work in E-TTL mode on 5D3. FYI.

Hello Sandra!Do you still use the Dynex 1.3 web cam for your Mac? I had recently bought a Mac Mini (dual core i5 Intel), and I came across your post. Is the Dynex's image quality really about as clear as the Logitech Vision Pro? Right now, Best Buy has them on sale for $16.99. I also want to know how well the mic works on it. If your Dynex 1.3 is still serving you well, let me know! I don't mind shelling out $16.99, if your Dynex webcam is still going strong!

Disregard my previous answer. I did find a firmware update for the Mac. http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36771/selected/true
