Also, I haven't once done a firmware upgrade, which could very well take care of the microdrive issue. I put the USB cable into a drawer and forgot all about it.
Yeah firmware is a must upgrade for Canons I am hearing. if you are running on 2.2 then you may be up to date right now but if you haven't run any at all you may see some improved performance out of it.
Are you running L series glass on it? If so then is it worth the extra money? I went and priced some today at a local shop and they started at $1100 for a basic 28-80 lens I know this shop is over priced a bit but damn I didn't expect it to be that steep.
