    I will be curious to see if it creates a noticeable AF difference in low light. I hope so.

    updated my 1Ds Mark II. piece o' cake.

    now, for the life of me, i cannot understand but there'll be a whole buncha people on other forums who are gonna mess it up and have a facacta camera. i deal in stuff like this all the time, and i gotta say, canon's instructions are really clear and precise....


    and then there are those who complain about not having a cf card reader... now why have a $4 or $8K camera and not a $20 card reader? headscratch.gif

    I was tracking a runner today--wearing dark red--along the trail and was noticing
    how poorly the lens tracked in servo mode. It's either spot on or way off.

    I will download when I get home and maybe tomorrow, I can give it a whirl.

    Thanks Patch!

    Anybody have a chance to upgrade?
    I upgraded just after the software came out and had a chance to shoot
    afternoon surfers over at Steamer's today. The good news is that more
    shots are in focus. The bad news is I need to work on my framing :D

    I upgrade right away when I hear about a firmware upgrade. Used to shoot Nikon. Want an upgrade? send your camera to Kentucky! No thanks.

    Reminds me of flashing the BIOS on PCs. I pray the power holds, and it always does....
