I've noticed that the camera, from time to time freeze.

the first one ha been the one attached to this thread

Is this a case of a FFB ?

Can you develop the freeze thing? does the camera become totally unresponsive? do you need to turn it on/off the revive it? do you need to remove the battery, wait and put it back to revive it? Does it happen always in the same circumstances (like it always freezes after doing something like changing lens, adjusting one specific setting, just after taking a photo, or a burst, or is it random? What is the condition of your battery? What is your firmware? is the CF card ok?

Anyways, that doesn't seem to be FFB: FFB produces a black image and then freezes. Very very rarely bluish pictures and freeze. If you could take pictures after this one, it's not FFB.

First thing that comes to mind is some software glitch: the photo looks underexposed with extreme white balance: could be the camera failed auto exposure and auto white balance.
The 7D freezing (when it wasn't FFB) was most often related to a dying battery or problems communicating with the CF card.

It's just some glass, some silicon and magnesium. It isn't a religion.
