Is it possible to update my EX1 firmware without sending it off to Sony? I seem to remember the firmware was downloadable from the web. Thanks...

Quite a few have done it, and I believe its been a 100% success rate.

Great news.. Now hunt around for the Kensington 7-in-1 reader and SanDisk Ultra II 16GB 15MB/s SDHC cards.

Enjoy!

On page 7 "Be sure to use upgrade software that is supplied separately for version upgrade of the software."

Where's that?

The upgrade also replaces 2 circuit boards and the back panel.

My upgrade involved replacing a side panel, the back panel, 2 PCBs and the lens at no charge.
