I installed Version 2.0 tonight. It was just as easy as the previous
upgrade, but with seemingly much more benefit. The greyed-out Fn
menu options is a helpful addition indeed. No more wondering why
auto-flash doesn't work in 'P' mode (hint, in v2.0 that option is
grayed out to reflect the fact that it's not really an option). The
AF-C and AF-S mode selection is probably the most important and
meaningful addition. This actually adds real-shooting functionality
that was essentially missing (or severely crippled) in the earlier
firmware versions. And putting Auto-ISO on the Fn menu is "where it
belongs". The changes to the custom menu are helpful as well.
The new artwork for the various pic modes is fluff, but why not I
guess. ;)
Anyway, thanks for continuing to support us -DS users.
Hmmm... my new *ist-DL seems to be up-to-date, as I'd expect. It has
these features already - certainly the greyed-out Fn modes and auto
ISO in Fn, and AF-C and AF-S. Oh - it's got the sample pics too.
Ciao,

Yep, the new DS firmware adds the features that the DS2 and DL had over
the DS.
