I didn't notice a change between my two 10D's (the one that shipped with 1.01 and the other that I dumped to get this one with 1.0.0). Thena gain, I almost never shoot past ISO 200 if I can help it, so that may be why...

Still waiting on that list of changes for my curiousity

Frances,

You've got to be kidding! I have done the upgrade myself and I am still getting 3fps. Are you sure your counting 6fps?! (you know, one-one thousand)? If so, what are your settings so I can try to replicate. Thanks

Yes and Frances is shooting full frame now too

... I am sure he was kidding.

The changes are very minor. Believe me.

i did everything by the numbers and when the screen on the 10D said the upload was successful i pressed the set button to signifiy the highlighted ok. the body went off power never to return whether by battery or mains power. in thinking about it, as a mac user, the file was .fir.exe but the stuffit sw worked ok and the upload said it was completed.

any ideas before i pack it up!

It certainly did not change focus issues with my camera. I have a very slight back focus problem with mine, and it is unchanged. I figured that would be hoping for too much, so it's off to Canon at some point.

Does anyone have a link to a mac installer for the 1.0.1 firmware? I tried http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/dc/10D_101-e.exe but of course .exe files are for windows. The firmware listing at http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging doesn't include the 10D and, of course, it's not availble at Canon USA. Thanks!

The first thing I noticed after the firmware update is that the cam is starting really much faster than before.
Didn't test other things. Wil do it tomorrow.

If you're using a Mac, use Stuffit Expander to "unstuff" the file, and you'll get the same folder with the same README file and the same firmware upgrade.

Thanks to everyone here. I'm not a computer whiz, but I downloaded and installed the update without a hitch. I'm heading to the Jersey shore tomorrow (Thursday, June 26), and I'll give the 10D a good workout with the new firmware. I have noticed quite often the best shots have been 1/2 to 1 stop less exposure than the in-camera meter indicates. Perhaps this firmware updat will correct that.

I hope the new firmware doesn't clean up the camera's noise profile too much at ISOs 400 and 800. I like the noise at those speeds! Think I'll wait for more feedback on this before updating (or not).

Thanks.

Use the USB camera cable that came with the 10D and load directly to the CF card while in the camera. Make sure that you also turn the "Auto Off" power to "OFF" - you do not want the camera powering down while downloading the software. Also important, use the AC power cord that came with the camera instead of relying on in camera BP511 battery.

Did my ruler focus test.

I used to have some focus issues with the 20-35 mm lens, and now they seems to be way better (used to be off at the closest focusing distance).

50 mm F1.8 is still slightly OOF (but closer to the center) @ F1.8, at F2.2 it's fine.

70-200mm L -- slightly off at 70 mm and dead on at 200 mm at closest focus distance, wide open aperature.

Anyway, it seems to be able to lock and hit the right places better. I think it's becuase they probably tweaked the autofocus algorithm (i.e. IMPROVED feedback, so it kills the motor faster in the search for the focal plane).

Haven't messed with the exposure yet... but it seems to be better on the line test for focus. I didn't really havea ny issues with the focusing problem before, so this is an improvement still, and thus, i am happy :-)

Hope it fix the higlights issue.... will test it later.

Does anyone know what issues Canon claims the firmwear upgrade addresses? Many of the claims I've seen here today are a bit crazy. The easiest one to test was the faster start-up claim--there is no difference with the stopwatch measured time I got before and after the upgrade.

Most firmwear upgrades address obscure issues and I'm guessing this is the case for this upgrade.

Could it been the the D-60 firmware upgrade rumors again? Like low light autofocus was improved with the D-60 but Canon would never admit to it, that was claimed by people. After that the rumor got a life of it own.

I will let the experts and Canon tell me what is real or not. Let the others so call experts think what they want. In the end they only have egg on their face!

CmSelDlg.dll and Pscl2STI.dll are used by Canon's remote capture app and TWAIN support.

PSCLE119.dll, PSCLE121.dll, and PSCLE124.dll are unknown to me.

They might be related to issues with Linear conversion, EXIF data, etc. Heck, I've waited this long. I think I can wait until tomorrow to find out...
