This is the link I received. I think I'm going to take mine to a Canon dealer and have him fix it. Doing it yourself looks scary.

Thanks for the link!
I have upgraded the firmware of the Canon Pro90, Nikon Coolpix 5000 and the Nikon D70. It is very easy to do it. Just be sure your battery is well charged :)
I do not see the interest to upgrade in this case as I have none of the problems listed below.

This firmware update (version 1.0.3) includes the following additional functions and improvements:

1. Fixes the phenomenon of shots being unable to be taken when using the remote controller RC-1.

2. Fixes the phenomenon wherein the camera continues to scroll through images being played back.

3. Improves reliability in communication when using some CF cards.

The Coupler cord didn't included in the package with your camera?

I did the upgrade using the compact flash, not using the USB port of the computer, so I think you only do it with a well charged batterie? That said, it took only like 30 seconds with all the cameras :)

When i have to clean the sensor i would take off of the camera the battery and insert the DC coupler,better safe than sorry :D

I disagree with you :p I think the risk of having a power outage is higher than to have a failure with a fully charged battery ;)

You are right about the risk of the outage power,i followed the instructions of the manual and i didn't thought that!!
