Just wait for a firmware update for the mark2 and try and load it on the M50

Oh that's an easy one to defeat; code signing. Poof, you're not going to win that. And it's easy to implement these days too for the mfgr but impossible for us mere mortals (or anyone else) to defeat.

They don't even need to go that far though, there's probably an internal check for the model number applicability ie serial-prefix or model number match that will "lock out" M50 owners.

Aren't they using a newer processor, anyway? I don't know that the software for the Digix 8 would work on the Digix 7 even with no protection.

Also, are we all dismissing any new functionality the Digix 8 could bring to the party?

Unless they decided to use the same name for the processor. The Digic 8 was on the M50
