20D Firmware Upgrade

Has anyone had problems doing the firmware upgrade for the 20D to 1.1.0?

I am currently at 1.0.5.

Cheers

No problems here!

 

Have you seen any obvious difference in overall performance? IIRC, it's
just supposed to fix the banding issue, which isn't an issue for me, and add
a couple of languages to the mix. I didn't do the upgrade, since, by the
description, it doesn't add anything to what I do. Should I have?

The day I got my 20D (Dec 9) I downloaded and installed updates to everything
that came with the camera - including the camera - so I can't comment on any
performance improvement.

That's hard to say - until the NEXT firmware update (if any) is released. If
Canon is true to form, you SHOULD be able to SKIP an interim update. If not,
well...

I ran 1.0.5 version for about 6 weeks before upgrading to 1.1 and quite
frankly I do not see any improvement over 1.0.5 (I did not have any trouble
with the banding issue either). At the same time I have not noticed any
negatives to the 1.1 version. Last week, while running v. 1.1, my 20D got
quite a workout doing indoor flash and available light plus a lot of outdoor
work with no troubles what so ever.

I may give this upgrade a try......only banding I get is LONG IR exposures
at high ISO (45 plus seconds at 800-3200)

 

Did it. Worked like a charm. Just make sure to have the lens removed for
this one.

 

Just wondering, because at the last wedding we shot, my wife's 20D had about
6 lockups of the full-on-take-the-battery-out-and-reboot type, not just your
garden variety off-and-on or Err99 type. We're running the 1.0.5 firmware.

 

Providing you follow the instructions with the update there should be no
problems, I've updated mine and had no issues with it.

 

I have had no issues with that problem with either 1.0.5 or 1.1.0. I thought
1.0.5 was supposed to fix that one? I always try to remember to turn my
camera off when changing lenses - don't know if that would have anything to
do with your wife's problem or not.

With or without battery grip?

Worked fine for me.

 

Mine came with 1.0.5 and I upgraded to 1.1.0. with no issues. I try to
prepare for it though: Print out the instructions and followed them closely.
A little soft music in the background doesn't hurt a thing either ;-). Been
running with 1.1. for about 4 weeks and haven't had any lockups or err codes
either. I love this camera!!

I thought it was supposed to fix it, too. And she wasn't changing lenses at
all, kept the same lens on all day. Although I can't imagine why not
turning it off when changing lenses would affect it, it's never affected any
other camera I've ever used.

 

Without. Mine has the grip, I was changing lenses without turning the
camera off, using Sigma, Tokina and Canon lenses, big Quantum flash on a
bracket, in other words, doing all the things that are supposed to generate
lockups, and avoiding them. She shoots all day with the same Canon 28-135
IS lens, no grip, fresh battery, had 6 lockups in the first 45 minutes of a
1 1/2 hour wedding mass.
