if you use macro lenses or auto lighting optimizer option ...

And what would it improve?

a google search shows that some t2i cameras came with firmware as old as 1.0.6

from canon's 1.0.8 firmware notes:

Fixes a phenomenon in which the set aperture moves unexpectedly when shooting movies in manual exposure mode using some Canon lenses (such as macro lenses).

from canon's 1.0.9 firmware notes:

Fixes a phenomenon in which tone jumps become noticeable in some images, depending on the shooting scene, when shooting with the Auto Lighting Optimizer settings (Low / Standard / Strong).

couldn't find notes for 1.0.7 but it doesn't hurt to update if you follow all the instructions ...

hope this helps ...
