update - works fine. A couple of points for Mac installation: 1.

This should prevent Type 1 crashes some people have experienced during the upload.

me too after update, but not a big problem... The installation procedure is not optimal, since you have to reboot twice - and no readme-file is included. The camera ROCKS even more after this update - saving large images (I always use "fine" resolution) to card is really zippy now. Focusing seems to be way faster too. And they finally removed that ugly "trash"-icon :) 4 stars only due to the crappy installation routine, technically a 6-star
