I have it, but haven't upgraded yet. I understand that you can't save the version that is being upgraded, so you can't go back.

Are you talking about the 7 or 7i upgrade?
There is an update available for the 7 (for a fee) that upgrades the camera to have many of the features of the 7i.

I'm so happy with my 7i that I can't imagine what could improve it. What does the new version have included? I'll check out Minolta at any rate. Thanks for the thread. Jerry.

| i upgraded my firmware just yesterday. I think the autofocus response got a bit faster. I think it is worth to upgrade. |

nope, it just upgraded silently. i just made sure that I have enough battery power to last a minute. the lcd is not turn on also when the upgrade is taking place... so it is consuming less power i suppose.
i still have to do some more test to compare the previous version and the new firmware.
i do not know if minolta is offering the old firmware, in case we wanted to go back to the original version. |

I upgraded the firmware this week also and I feel the focus is faster too. I tried to find on other forums what the other "improved functionalities" were, but did not find much else. When I shoot still photos, I almost always use a tripod and remote shutter release to perform the longest exposure possible and manually focus in the magnified mode in the eyepiece. Jerry.

| The Minolta Dimage 7i upgrade appears to be worthwhile (from Forum comments). I've followed the instructions for what I thought was a few minute procedure but the access light on the camera blinks for well over 15-20 minutes. I'm hesitant to try to upload the 1.11e version again as the instructions warn that interruptions in the upgrade procedure may damage the camera's CPU. Can someone give me a sense of time for this process? Minolta Technical Support led me to believe it was only a few minutes. Thanks. |

| I'm facing the same problem posted by BJAY. During the upgrade the light blinks for more than 20 minutes and nothing happens. After 20/30 minutes (light was still blinking) i removed the batteries and the firmware version was still the same. I repeated the procedure several times, always reformatting the memory card and uploading again the 2 files. Where did i get wrong? Thanks |

| If you are using the e version make sure your camera is european model. I have the same problem, except my camera is a j version. This is a Japanese camera. I just bought the camera and was not told it was Japanese. Can anyone tell me where to get the Japanese update? Thanks. |
