Thanks for the heads-up Karl! This update solves a couple of issues that I am glad have been addressed by Nikon.

Hey thanks for the update just got done with it. Hope it doesn't do anything bad. Didn't notice any problems with the camera.

Excellent! Just in time for Cozumel.

Speaking of which... I have a plane to catch. See you all in 7 days!

Updated mine last night. Easy to do and no problems so far.

Too bad they didn't include some of the bigger issues in the update like moire, backfocus and color shift. Not that any of these issues have ruined any of my pictures, just would like to have these out of the way.

I'm not sure if the color shift problem was really fixed in the update. dpreview says that it is but the Nikon website says that it fixes vigenetting at high shutter speeds. I don't think that the color shift was caused by vigenetting?

If your camera backfocuses then your autofocus sensors need adjustment. It's not something you can fix w/ a firmware update. And Moire could be smoothed out in the firmware for JPEG rendering, but otherwise it's a sensor property.
