    I downloaded a new copy of the Driver Checker utility and successfully updated the drivers. However, the firmware update appears to be failing. This is been running for an hour and a half with a good, and fast, Internet connection. Is it time to assume that the software has screwed up my camera?

    Not a happy camper,

    Never mind, after two hours it finally updated. For others, I strongly suggest not doing a firmware upgrade with a wireless connection. If you lose your connection, your camera will become a "brick."

    For the developers…
    Please modify this process to first download the firmware upgrades to the hard disk and then start the upload.

    It does download all files to the disk. Weird that it took so long.
