    I always update mine.

    Firmware updates are designed to fix problems. Of course, you can always re-install a previous version if a fault is found.

    In general, it is fairly safe and simple procedure, as long as you have a full battery.

    Are you sure you can go back, I always thought firmware were always an upward movement?

    it usually is for most electronic devices, but considering i've never dealt with firmware with DSLR's before, i shall pass a bucket of salt with that. :)

    From my experience in the world of IT, you should carefully check out the 'read me' document before upgrading the firmware, often the upgrade will fix a problem that doesn't or probably won't affect you.

    Unless the documentation highlights an issue that directly affects you, you're better off leaving a period of time to elapse before you apply the upgrade.

    The principle is this: If there's a problem with the new level of firmware, let other people find it first - caveat emptor!

    Some companies have the ability to allow you to reinstall previous updates/versions so not necessary only upwards.
