I heard some noise coming from my 17-55.. but not sure if I would say the lens "emits" the sound.. it sounded like IS kicking in when I'm not even focusing..
I'll probably do the update this week..

was browing dpreview, here are some comments:
1) some people noticed jaggy lines on their previews that made them think the image was corrupt. They were only seen on the LCD.
2) some people reported hearing their IS lenses make 'IS noises' even when IS was turned off. When IS is active, it makes a soft whirring sound.

I have the 40D and since getting it last Nov, I saw there were 2 firmware updates...the one mentioned above and one that was previous to this.
In order to do any firmware updates, do we need to do the previous ones? Or does the this one 1.0.8 encompass the previous updates? Or does it skip it?

Well, not exactly a 40D update ... but an update for the 30D was posted.
I've had my 30D since March 2007 and I'm sad to say I've taken maybe 1000-1500 shots with it, at most. I've never done any firmware updates. Now that I've reformatted my Macbook (long story), I'm doing the slow process of installing all my apps. The Canon stuff is up and will install my Adobe stuff shortly thereafter.
Should I even bother doing the 1.0.6 firmware update for my 30D? Never had any problems with it.
This is what 1.0.6 adds:
"This firmware update (Version 1.0.6) incorporates the following fixes and improvements:
It allows the latest lens names to be recorded in the Exif information of images taken.
It adds lenses that are compatible with the Digital Photo Professional 3.2 lens aberration correction function."
Kinda curious what the camera-philes think of this. And I am too lazy to read how to determine what firmware version I have ... but I think it's probably 1.0.1 since it was fairly new (to the market) when I bought it.

Depending on the battery check timing of the camera, the battery level displayed on the camera's LCD data panel may shows Battery will be exhausted soon or Battery must be recharged, even though the battery capacity is sufficient.
Fixes a malfunction that in rare occurrence causes an Err 06 Self Cleaning Sensor malfunction to appear on the camera's LCD monitor and LCD data panel, even when the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is operating normally. This message may appear depending on the timing of when the camera is switch to the ON position.
Fixes a malfunction that prevents correct colors from being printed when direct printing. RAW images captured using the camera's custom Picture Styles (Emerald, etc.), which have been downloaded from Canon's Web site and registered under User Def. 2 or User Def. 3.
Modifies the level of subject brightness that causes the AF-assist beam to fire when using an external Speedlite.
Enables an external flash connected to the camera's synchro terminal to fire even when the camera's built-in flash is popped up.
Version 1.1.1 firmware is for EOS 40D cameras with firmware up to Version 1.1.0. If the camera's firmware is already Version 1.1.1, it is not necessary to update the firmware.
