I was excited when I first heard about 60fps as well. I guess that we wait a little longer.

Has anyone else besides me downloaded a copy of the update that will not extract? I'm in the process of downloading again, but it's SO SLOW!

Does anyone have a mirror to download from? I imagine that the Canon site is swamped!

Thanks a million!
