The update was uneventful and I haven't noticed a difference but I didn't have any problems before anyway.

I would just love to get my hands on a camera! I have one on order with a deposit but no news yet. Some say all are going to the Olympics. I find it so strange that a company the size of Canon can't meet demand well after the first shipping date, and now into the firmware upgrade path.

Please excuse my OT question but with the release of the MKIV will Canon continue to tweak the MKIIIs firmware or leave as is ?

Good question. I wouldn't expect too many firmware revisions for the Mark III anymore unless Canon discovers a major problem.
