Just wondering if anyone has tried to upgrade to Firmware 1.11 themselves? I recently downloaded a copy and instructions off the web, but am a little bit cautious of installing it for fear of screwing my camera up.

Many threads on here about those who have done it themselves. Not a big deal as long as you follow the instructions.

tons of us. Just follow the pdf step by step and you can't go wrong. Just make sure the zip you downloaded is legit.

Here is the forum thread on the subject:
