Yesterday my new copy of 50D has arrived to replace the one that was giving me Errror99. While I was synchronizing settings between the old and new bodies I noticed the firmware version has changed from xxx.1 to xxx.2.
I don't know about the exact details, but this is something other early adopters of 50D may want to look into. :deal

    I've read elsewhere that:
    • Some cameras have been shipped with 1.0.0.1 and others, like yours, with 1.0.0.2
    • There are insignificant differences between the two versions
    • The reported Err99 has been reported with the newer firmware version
    • Canon has been reported as saying that they will be releasing 1.0.0.3 sometime late Oct (vaporware?) and that it should clear up some/most of the Err99 issues.
    My copies both have the older firmware and I have yet to have the Err99 issue. I have had an issue with the cameras not powering on until I first remove the battery and re-insert it. It has not happened enough yet for me to be able the properly characterize the behavior or to make it a repeatable event. With time, maybe?

    Finally, I hope the newer camera will not exhibit the Err99 issues. Here's hoping.

    Where are you guys getting the extra ".0"?

    My 50D arrived yesterday (woo hoo!), and it's 1.0.2.

    No problems so far...

    It's called getting old and still assuming one's memory is hitting on all 8 cylinders. So, I'm an old fart - sue me :D
