hi,
risking to state the obvious...
canon has released a new version of the 1dsmk2 firmware.
the following issues are addressed by the new version:
1. Three new languages (Russian, Traditional Chinese, and Korean) added to the menus.
2. Reliability of communication with particular CF cards improved.
let's hope that they really fixed the issues with large cf (2gb+) cards.
the upgrade can be found here:
http://web.canon.jp/Imaging/eos1dsm2/eos1d...firmware-e.htmli had trouble making the mac version work, but the windows version did the job.
cheers,
