Man! You just beat me to the punch posting the link! Grumble, grumble..........

Sorry! I just wish they included what was changed in the text file!

Robert

Yep, me too! My mom just got her 10D yesterday and hers Came with 1.0.1. I'm so jealous...

Just installed the firmware. It appears, from my test shots anyway, that they cleared up some of the quality problems in ISO shots above 200. At ISO 400 (formerly pretty rough results IMO) the quality is much better and appears much like shots I took at ISO 200...that's very nice.

At ISO 800, the quality is much better than before and offers a tiny bit less noise than pre-firmware upgrade ISO 400. It at least offers shooting high quality up to ISO 400...that's a big improvement. Then, at ISO 800, you use the noise relievers.

Exposure seems a bit more accurate also...mine was over-exposing a stop and a half...now it's dead on...I see it as a welcomed improvement. Hope it's not my imagination...ROFL

Anybody hear anything on a fix to some of the focus issues?

i would imagine this firmware changes that situation carl...i suspected all along it was an in-camera computer problem. but that's a pure guess on my part...since i have a good one now my only gripe came from the poor image quality at iso 400...that's no longer a problem.

I was hoping for added WA functionality for use of Lexar cards. But I just did a burst test and it appears that it takes my 10D the same time to clear the buffer. :-(

Larry,

were the instructions included in the application. i am at work and cannot download the file.

I performed the update this morning using the Mac binhexed version that is available at this url:

http://www.canon.co.jp/Imaging/dc/10D_101-e.hqx

Everything went without a hitch and the exposure does seem spot on now. Previously I was having to dial in a negative exposure (about 1/3 to 2/3 stop) in order to avoid the blown highlights.

That is great news about the ISO improvements you've observed, Larry.

I'm going to continue using the updated firmware and will report if I observe anything new.

Lou...in-camera format your CF card. And then put the CF card in your card reader
Download the zip file from the net
Unzip
You'll see a bunch of stuff in there, but all you want is the "firmware File" in the upper left.
just highlite it and choose "move this file"
Move it to just the drive letter of your card reader

once moved put the CF card in your camera...it will recognize the firmware...
bingo

Do you have a choice but to continue using it? There's no reverting I thought.

i don't think there is any turning back...wish there was if i suddenly get unhappy with the changes.

There is a way back...

Send the camera to Canon and they can flash the camera bios back to the old FW.

Can't imagine this is free...?

Will you do me a favor, Larry? show me some ISO400/800 shots with dark backgrounds ... I'm serious

Best,

Simon

right now it's a non-issue...i believe the firmware imporoved the cameras performance

Very impressive, Larry ... the 1Ds maybe hopeful now Thank you very much!

Hi larry,
The ISO noise improvement you are talking about is in jpg only (in-camera conversion improved) or even for RAW processed out of camera with your usual workflow ?

Well, I haven't updated my husband's 10D yet, so I could always "revert" to that one, .

Great, I get my Camera tomorrow and it already needs an upgrade

oh well, I am tired of waiting (2-1/2 weeks), but at least I will have it for the weekend..

i only shoot in raw cedric...so i see a big difference in iso 400 tiff images.
this at least gets me out of shooting in just iso 100-200, which isn't horrible, but it is limiting...I do not like the use of noise reducers as they decrease detail...and considering the cost of my equipment I want the most for my money not the least.

Well, it shows it can be done Simon...

re putting the update on the CF card:

Great tip Larry, you one smart cookie!

david in london

wow.............getting 6 frames per second after the upgrade!

now I don't need a 1D.
