This is now my main lens.

I would love to hear if anyone who has the update (I have not done it yet)

Don't do it.

1. Anyone notices the images themselves are really any different.

2. Is the loud noise issue only on certain generations of cameras.

Thanks

Wait until the dust settles.  Installing a F/W update unless absolutely necessary immediately after release is a recipes for disaster.  In general an update with a version change in the second decimal place can be ignored anyway.

The unfortunate thing is F/W performance can often be dependent on the actual H/W in a unit.  Even critical components from different manufacturing lots can have subtle differences.  It is impossible to test each and every unit at the plant.

I am sure they will fix it - once they figure out what the problem really is.  Clearly they did not encounter the problem during testing which goes along with some having the issue and some not.

I, however, must say I appreciate the "beta testers" that do the final testing so I can install with some confidence down the road.
