Well lets hope so cause my last firmware update kindly done for my by SRS when it was in for repair (though they didnt ask me first!)left certain lenses needing MORE than -1 ev adjustment not to blow highlights. I dont know how the firmware could affect that but there you go

Anyone actually noticed any difference to their cameras following this firmware upgrade (other then Smeggypants of course)?

The 38MP FF sensors, ISO2048000 capability at 50fps was of course a placebo Anyone actually noticed any difference to their cameras following this firmware upgrade (other then Smeggypants of course)?
Actually I haven't updated them. I've no plans to purchase the newly supported flash and lenses and the cameras currently work so it would be a waste of time.
