Issues addressed with D2X Firmware Ver. 1.01

Autofocus performance has been increased.
An issue that prevented the AF-assist illuminator from firing when the Speedlights listed below were used has been corrected.
SB-29S, SB-29, SB-23, SB-22S, SB-22, SB-20.
In images captured at a shutter speed of 1/250 s with a Speedlight SB-800, set to Distance-priority manual flash (GN), or Manual flash (M) with flash output set to full (M1/1) mounted on the camera, the top portion was often dark. This issue has been addressed. However, under the circumstances described above only, the guide number is reduced from that of full flash output level by approximately 0.6 EV.
Images captured at white-balance settings of Incandescent, Direct sunlight, Cloudy, Shade, and Choose color temp. tended to have a reddish tint. This issue has been addressed.
Errors in Dutch menus have been corrected.

Birddog114 - thank you for the info.

The AF on the D2x was fast and now more faster with the new upgraded firmware. Ready to catch the action of the new F22 JSF.

Awesome, thanks Birdie

Thanks Birddog

Have you upgraded your yet? Interested in how long it takes overall and if there were noticeable differences

Less than 5min. and you noticed it straight away with AF-S or AF lenses.

great! thanks for the info!

Thanks Birdie - will see what it gives

Pls. note:
You have to format the CF card from the camera and it has the "DCIM" folder.
Copy the upgraded firmware to card and do not place it in the "DCIM" folder, if you format the CF card from the card reader, it won't work.

Easy as - took a few minutes

Can D70/70s uses this upgraded firmware to invert it to the D2x?

Thank you!
You are a Myth!

Fab

Cool faster autofocus, that's insane
hope i can work out how to upgrade the firmware, will do it soon

It's done, now i have a freakin' fast autofocus camera. It was my birthday yesterday so this firmware is very timely present!

Bjorn Rorslett seems to be suggesting that the new firmware update for the D2X produces improved performance for HI-1 and HI-2

I can relate to that.

And to kind of answer Mikhail, I belive that the next firmware update will make the camera into a FF one.

I'm not sure that Fozzie's the one you should be asking that question of.

Birddog, how silly, would be better to have both instead of just one

Gary, please have a discussion with Birdie at the earliest convenience

Paul,
You're talking about the body or the firmware?

Firmware, you have to do both of them at once.

body, you can do once not twice No more juice left after the first try

This firmware looks interesting.

The body even more so

I think I will hold back on upgrading until next week. I am on a food shoot all week and it has been performing so well that I don't want to risk anything! I remember the issues with one of Canon 20D's firmware updates.

Can't wait to see how the AF improves though

Happy B'day Wendellt, it is true that ths is a nice gift

Heath the camera is performing like a gem, all day at the office I shot every garbage bin, toilet bowl and left over cracker fragments on the carpet, each image - a work of art! I love this firmware update woohoo, okey dokey, yee haaw just splendid.

All done here now to give it a try

I didn't see anything wrong with the firmware u/g but it's vice versa and it's liked a breeze in a hot day.

MCWB,
Watch out! that body is OK and suitable for us but not for you or anyone in the process of a commitment to a "life sentence".
We have been suffering enough so another body may help us to recover

By the way MCWB
