Not sure what it does or fixes as information is very sketchy but I understand it comes out mid October and will available for user download and install from here: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd-e.html
I have heard from a user who spoke to Canon that it addresses an issues in 720p mode. Not sure what that issues is but as soon as I know I will share AND BEFORE YOU ASK, I have no info on 5dmkII firmware!!

Any info on 5dmkII firmware? 😉
Seriously though, I wasn’t aware of any 720p issues with the 7D. Has anyone had any?
hopefully it will give us 24fps at 720p
aliasing is proper nasty in 720p…still not pretty in 1080p but very usable
Perhaps to do with all the moire/aliasing etc. in 720p slo-mo, as discussed/debated in forensic detail on DVXUSER –
hope it will address the overheating issue..
The 720p issue that they’re addressing is (hopefully) the excessive aliasing!
Thanks for that info.
Moire
Wow very soon after release. Is this a new approach from Canon, a more firmware updated approach to their cameras? Or just a mundane bug fix? Probably the latter.
Phil, if you ever get a pre-production 1d4 model, it would be great this time that you make some tests over camera heating issue, PLEASE.
(-:
Cinema5D now flat out rejecting this rumor, citing interviews with CanonUSA reps who said that there was no 7D firmware update coming, even though there may be language differences between version 1.08, 1.09, etc

Is your source better than their source Phil?
Lets see!
According to my source at Canon, the firmware will be available (At least in Japan) this Monday morning (19)… This firmware SHOULD fix the Moire Pattern that can be see in 720p but also in 1080…
As Canon told us… the firmware 1.0.9 is live this morning (for us early in Japan)
Firmware Version 1.0.9 incorporates the following fixes.
1. Improves AF accuracy during Live View shooting.
2. Corrects a phenomenon where in rare instances, movie images shot by the camera may exhibit abnormal colors.
3. Corrects a phenomenon that at certain timings, the shutter cannot be released when the camera’s built-in flash or an external Speedlite is used for shooting.
