D3 Firmware Withdrawn

Apr 18--The 1.1 firmware update for the D3 has been withdrawn by Nikon due to an image corruption issue. Specifically, when shooting long bursts at 9 fps using 14-bit raw one or more images in the burst may get an offset overlap effect. If you didn't yet update, don't. If you did, set your camera to 8 fps or 12-bit raw. A revised version is due by the end of the month.

Hmmm, if you want to keep up with the news I suggest you stick around here instead of at Thom's place. This was discussed at length in various threads when someone here discovered the fault a day or so after the firmware was released, and the withdrawal happened last week which was also reported here on the day it was withdrawn.

Other than that, a great find
