Just noticed Ars reporting on Microsoft licensing out exFAT. One of the companies happens to be Canon. Since I recently bought a 7D and have hit the 12~ minute video record limit a few times due to the fact that FAT32 doesn’t support files larger than 4GB… The entire licensing thing makes me wonder if Canon will make some new firmware updates available for the 5DII, 7D, 1DIV to support exFAT and effectively allow unlimited 1080p video recording. I’d imagine the dual DIGIC 4 chips could easily handle the data, so really the only limit should be the available storage on the CF card.
