That's not true. Canon publish waht issues are fixed in every firmware revision. Just as an example, from the last firmwareupdate to the 1Ds:

"
What's new?

EOS-1Ds Firmware Update Version 1.0.2 resolves the following issues:

1. White balance setting at P. Fn-Personal Function-No.25 "Sets the default setting when the CLEAR (QUALITY+WB) button is ON".
2. JPEG image (Small/Fine)
3. Wrong display when used with RemoteCapture application

This firmware Version 1.0.2 supports the camera with Version 1.0.1 firmware. If the camera already loads the firmware Version 1.0.2, you do not need to update it.

Nothing nearly as earth shattering as some had imagined

1. It increases the reliability of USB communication when used with the camera direct print.
2. It corrects wrong simplified Chinese letters on MENU.

Here are Canon's official statements on improvements in the firmware:

1. It increases the reliability of USB communication when used with the camera direct print.
2. It corrects wrong simplified Chinese letters on MENU.

That is good news for our Chinese members and all of us who use the Canon Cardprinters ...

Peter...if Canon is telling the truth then why am I suddenly getting perfectly clear images at ISO 400 where before the update it was total crap and I decided to totally avoid iSO 400?

I remember the 1D firmware changes...huge changes in image quality...plus color cast of yellow vanished...but no mentiuon of it. Obviously, Canon does not want to mention that they put a camera on the market that was inferior in any way...so be it...they made it right...good for them...now, if they can do the same for the 1Ds it surely will make a lot of 1Ds owners much happier.

I can't answer for Canon.

You could be right, I am sure you have studied more on comparisons between the 10d before and after the upgrade. I am still curious and look forward to pictures of comparisons. I have no 10D available until saturday, so I guess I'll have to wait to find out myself.

Thanks for sharing your quick first impressions with us!

It's real on my camera Peter...Now the results at ISO 800 are exactly what I used to get at ISO 400, so now I just avoid ISO 800 as a useless setting. Also, at ISO 100 I am having to meter and use exposure comp and then go into layer masking to balance out the photo where before ISO 100 shots were pretty easy to handle (more blown highlights at ISO 100 now).

The reason I know is because ISO 400 shots were deemed useless to me so it was the first place I looked for to note any changes. What a nice suprise.

Canon isn't going to spill the beans...I love Canon products, but they have been in denial since the 10D came out.

Canon has no problem owning up to problems in their cameras... at least with the consumer cameras like the G3 and the A40 and such.

When it comes to SLR's and dealing with "higher end" consumers and professionals that big Japanese corporate mentality may come into play. If they say they fixed something, that is the same as admitting it was broken...

Still, if they had improved the ISO noise over what it had been (which was already considered excellent), you'd think they would be touting that like NIVIDIA touts their latest video card drivers that squeeze an extra 1.2% of performance out of a card.

But then again, this is Canon. Who knows what they really think

I went ahead and installed the update last night and then went outside & took some nighttime shots at ISOs 400–3200. Comparing photos of the same subject matter taken a few weeks ago with the post-update photos I don't see any differences in noise quantity or character. Which is fine with me...I like the textural qualities of the 10D's noise at higher ISOs.
