I know quite a few of the readers here are using Canon 30D, so just to let you know there is a new firmware update available.

Version 1.0.5 fixes a bug which mis-reports the number of continuous shots which can be taken and also adds a ’semi-gloss paper’ option for direct printing. This firmware can be installed by simply copying the update file to the Compact Flash card and is available as a self-extracting archive for Windows or Macintosh.

You can find the firmware here.
