Upgrading Firmware in Canon Camera

It never struck me that I could/should upgrade the firmware in my digital camera. I bought a Canon SD100 [B00009Q96Z] right when it first came out, and sure enough, there is a firmware upgrade available on Canon's web site.

I remember having a problem with a Sandisk 512MB SD card [B00016L0VQ] and the SD100. If I used the card in both a PC memcard reader and the camera, eventually the camera would think the card was corrupted. Since the camera has its own USB interface, I shrugged off the problem and stopped using the memcard reader. Looks like the new firmware fixes this issue, as well as adds support for 2GB cards and PictBridge [WikiPedia].

The update process was painless and straightforward. The new firmware is version 2.0.1.0. My camera's firmware? Version 1.0.0.0. :-) Glad to have the upgrade.
