[edit] Version

The ver.req trick works on this camera. To retrieve the version information, create a new blank file called ver.req on the root of an sd card. Insert the card in the camera. Power up to review mode (or switch from shoot mode, they both work). Hold the 'FUNC. SET' key then press the 'DISP.' key. Something like the following should come up

The date and time refer to the firmware build date (i think) not the current time.

A firmware upgrade to 1.00g is available from http://alexlab.ru/canon/PSS80.FIR; To upgrade, copy this file to an SD card, start the camera in Playback mode, press MENU, scroll down to the bottom and press 'Firm Update...'. After upgrade, the ver.req trick reports (on my camera):
