For those of you that have the 5D, it may be a good idea to update your firmware. This is supposed to fix error messages after a large number of photos are taken (Richie V- sound familiar?). Be sure to update with a full battery and read directions carefully. If you mess up, you'll be very sorry. If you want, you can have it done at a Canon authorized dealer (probably free).
Seems to fix all kinds of things I don't need
I guess it's always good to keep up with the latest version but I'm going to give it a couple of weeks and see of people report any problems.
Agreed. Most of the repairs are meaningless. However, there have been notable problems with sudden errors after taking 138 pictures on a card. I'd hate to lose a bunch of pictures on a vacation, or at a wedding, etc.

Will wait and perhaps upgrade at a later date. Thanks for the notice
