Len,

Thanks, it is updating right now.  By the way, I solved my SF24D problems 
and it is working just fine, I had a couple of problems, including an 
incorrect set switch and a set of depleted batteries, Duh!  Well the 
firmware is now loaded and it seems to be working just fine.  Now to explore 
what if any fixes I can see.  I have read on the RFF that one person sees an 
improvement in noise at the two highest iso's, which would be nice.  Will 
have to do somoe experimenting.
