Just upgraded to version 2.0, nikon must be mad

Arash Hazeghi said:

I've just upgraded my D100 to firmware version 2.0c "R100200C.BIN"
The most distinct change is that my RAW "NEF" files are now 9.56MB
each while they were 9.47 MB previousely "1.01" what is the extra
90KB for, I haven't been able to undrestand. Everyhting else is the
same...
What I don't undrestand is the fact that this is a user upgradable
firmware "just like the coolpix series" why nikon are wasting "at
least" their own technical staff's time and resources to do this
upgrade and cuase a major dissatisfaction and trouble for the
customers having the cameras sent to Nikon ...It's totally awful
and meaningless...If this weren't a user upgradable firmware, we
wouldn't be able to do it so easily, It's the common .BIN file
which is being flashed to the EPROM onboard, no change in circuitry
etc. ...so why they can't put the files on their web site... total
nonesense

My special thanks to the one who sent me the files

I'm very interested in the v2.00 vs. v2.00c image quality
differences posted in another thread here.

so if anyone can, it'd be greatly appreciated if someone could pass
the file my way. THanks,

Now, the glaring dispute remains - and I fear the result - is it
worth it for a V2 camera to be updated to V2C???
