I’m a newbie 1000D user and don’t have experience with Canon DSLRs but is it a common practice to skip firmware versions? My 1000D has 1.0.3, the latest is 1.0.5 but I cannont find 1.0.4.

Would be my definition of “good service”… it shouldn’t be that difficult to copy some source code of the 450D’s firmware to the 400D’s… but… yeah, sure – Canon has to sell new Rebels, I forgot…

Are you sure? The newest firmware for the 5D Mk II is dated January ‘09, yet I’ve seen posts (and pics) in the ISO 100-200 range with the latest firmware that still clearly exhibit banding.

I really thought we’d see a 5D Mk II firmware update this week. Unless, however, Canon is waiting a couple days to let the current firmware releases drift off the front page and then make some real news on the 5D Mk II front with manual video control.

For all intents & purposes, the current “Rebel” is the 500D/T1i. That makes the 400D/XTi a 2-generation old canera. What’s Canon’s track record in firmware updates for such oldies?

Your wish will come true, albeit in a different name.

The next firmware update for the 50D will be called “EOS 60D”.

What about a 400D update? Is the 400D not supposed to support the assist AF beam feature? :(

5D2 update FIXES vertical banding and black dot issues.
