Re: so canon can force you to upgrade (the truth)

The honest truth is there is little to zero incentive for canon to release new firmware for an old camera like T4i. Canon would rather you purchase the new T5i with improved live view AF.

Canon EOS-M is unique in that it was severely/harshly criticized for its slow AF by the entire Tech-Press-Reviewers (rightly so) forcing canon to make corrective measures.

Canon did the firmware and then sold the EOS-m at fire sale prices. I don't have the impression a lot of unsold T41 cameras are warehoused.
