New v1.1.0 Firmware is Released!

Just got the email! Here’s the link:

I’m going to install it now, will report back.

=========================================
UPDATE:

OK, the firmware took 2 minutes flat to load, real easy, right off my CF card.

The manual mode works GREAT! Once in LiveView:

1. Hit the ISO button to set it (shows up right on the big LCD). This is great, because we ALWAYS want ISO below 1000 unless you want the grain.
2. Index-finger wheel sets the shutter speed.
3. Wheel on back sets the aperture.

Done! We’re going to wonder how we ever DIDN’T have manual control before… lol.

OK Canon, add 24p (and 25p for our overseas friends), and the competition is buried.
