Wow!  VERY nice!

That was probably the biggest reason to hesitate getting that camera.

Does it work in H mode?

Confirming there is no slowdown in H mode. Consistent 8fps.

So the fps slowdown is limited to EFCS shutter mode, H+ drive mode, at shutter speeds 1/500 and lower. I.e., just as Canon has confirmed, the exact situation affected by shutter shock.

Maybe it wasn't such a good question anyway, since 8 fps is already slower than the throttled rate that's supposed to take care of the shock.

In any case, thank you, Canon!  I think that update shows a lot of commitment to the camera, and that's important.

Have you seen any other reports on this online? I made some people aware but haven't heard anyone else talk about it.
