Yeah, it's still not 'official' though I dont think, as people on the
10D mailing list have pointed out - it's not linked from the webpage.
But I'm pretty sure that it's just not updated on their website yet.
Anyhow, it seems to work OK in my camera (: I dont notice any
differences yet. Does canon usually tell you what the update actually
does? I cant remember what the D30 one said when I updated it.

Yes Canon will normally post a list of fixes I think. (with othe D series
they have)

The link was originally sourced form Chuck Westall, head tech Canon USA, so
I'm sure its legit, just not linked on the Bebit page yet.

EOS 10D Firmware Version 1.0.1 supports the following:

1.. It increases the reliability of USB communication when used with the
camera direct print.
2.. It corrects wrong simplified Chinese letters on MENU.
This firmware Version 1.0.1 supports the cameras with Version 1.0.0
firmware. If the camera already loads the firmware Version 1.0.1, you do not
need update it.



Ah well, never mind. =0)

My thoughts exactly... I was so excited (childish I know).. I was going
to make my new camera newer... Maybe I should learn Chinese :-)

Not that anything needed to be fixed on my 10D... but what are the chances
that Canon fixes something in the Firmware and doesn't tell anyone?? This
way they never admit to a problem and the problem simply goes away.... We
best get Scully and Mulder onto it. :-)

Who was it said: "Don't fix what aint broke" ?
I just had my 10D replaced and It's got 1.0.0 firmware. It's a hell of
different camera than the original one I bought. FWIW I think upgrading the
firmware when there is nothing wrong is a bit like changing a tyre because
it 'might' go flat!

Chances are there are probably more changes than noted.

Quite often the case with PC products and motherboard bios that there are
more changes than they list.

What I'd be specifically more worried about is what other bugs do they
introduce to an already fine, running camera? ;-)
