paul_ferrante Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I have a D80 with firmware 1.0. Is there any reason for me to flash to 1.01? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_bez Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 There is no reason not, Nikon only want to improve the product with the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bms Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 I agree with Anthony - especially since it is easy. Although it does NOT promise to fix the exposure issue people have been complaining about (has Nikon ever acknowledged that? IMHO not a huge problem, once recognized).

mjt Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 hi Paul ... read what the firmware upgrade offers you ... the *ONLY* reason to upgrade the firmware is to gain what the upgrade offers. in other words, do you require: * The electronic analog exposure display will be displayed in the viewfinder when the brightness of the subject exceeds the range that can be controlled by the camera, whether too bright or too dark, in the following shooting modes: o Shutter-priority auto (S) or Aperture-priority auto (A) exposure modes with the built-in flash up o Programmed auto (P) exposure mode * Effects of processing performed when the Long exp. NR item in the shooting menu is enabled have been improved. * When attempting to edit images, which had already been edited using a computer, with options in the D80?s retouch menu, the camera sometimes froze. Therefore, images that have been edited using a computer can no longer be edited using the camera. * Errors in English, Polish, Swedish, and Traditional Chinese menus have been corrected. ... if any of these are of concern for your style of photography, then by all means, upgrade ! regards, michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photo5 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 I read what the upgrade offered, and decided not to take the time to upgrade my D80 as none of these things are valid for my style of photography. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so your camera may be improved by stealth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_jue Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Does anyone know for sure if this firmware update does in fact fix the exposure issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
