Do you guys tend to update the firmware whenever its available - or only if you know it will solve a particular issue? I think I've only ever updated camera firmware once before. My 40D is currently on 1.03
In November '07 I was very hesitant to do my very first update from 1.0.3 to 1.0.5, but plucked up courage to do it and everything went ok, so do any future upgrades immediately as I figure the updates exist for the benefit of the camera/user. Haven't had any problems whatsoever so far
I've updated to 1.0.8 and can completely recommend it. Images that previously looked soft on the LCD are now soooo much sharper. Some odd colour cast also corrected.
Shame it will not do anything for my shaky hands!!
Think I may pass on this until I have plenty of time to think about it, although it looks pretty straightforward I don't trust myself not to mess up the whole thing!!
I updated today, fixed the annoying LCD issue! Only affected like 1 in 20 shots, but it was really annoying when you're trying to show someone a picture!
Thanks for posting this link.
Updated today and LCD is so much better than it was before.
Suppose that was my only real gripe about the camera, my old 10Ds screen was super, now this is easily as good.

Updated on Monday.
Originally just copied the file onto the CF card & of course it would not run. The program needs to be copied onto the hard drive & extracted onto the CF card ( the instructions are clear - but I chose to ignore them )
Updated OK - but I have to admit, did not notice any difference ! :bang:
It took a while, only because when it asked me if I wanted to update I pressed "menu" instead of "set" and then sat looking at a black screen for two minutes until the camera powered off.
