Here's
some non-PMA news for a change. Canon BeBit (Japan) has today posted another
new version of their firmware for the EOS-1D digital SLR. This 'Noise
Reduction ..second edition' firmware is said to take care of the single
dark horizontal line sometimes seen near the top of high ISO images. According
to Canon, "Significant noise reduction is possible by updating the
firmware to Version 1.3.0. Further noise reduction is possible by employing
the shooting method recommended in this guide.".
