update - works fine. A couple of points for Mac installation: 1. Follow the instructions regarding the removal of certain files from the System Folder, but make sure you leave the file called "E990 Driver" in the Extensions folder. If this file isn't present during the upgrade, you will get the "camera not connected" error. 1. Before running the upgrade application, give it more memory (say 20MB). 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
