So Canon has released Firmware Version 1.0.7 for the EOS 50D to be available for download from their site here: http://web.canon.jp/imaging/eosd/firm-e/eos50d/firmware.html. According to the official update page:

Firmware Version 1.0.7 incorporates the following changes.

1. Corrects a phenomenon where captured images may tend to appear somewhat magenta depending on the shooting scene.
2. Fixes incorrect indications on the Arabic, Romanian, Spanish, and Ukrainian menu screens.

Firmware Version 1.0.7 is for cameras with firmware up to Version 1.0.6. If the camera’s firmware is already Version 1.0.7, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

So there you have it. We again have the 50D body in stock and we’ve got the best legit price around -order it online and you get Free UPS Ground shipping to the (and I love this word) contiguous 48.
