Nikon D50, Nikon D50 vs Canon EOS 350D, Buying Nikon D50 Camera
I have been trying to decide on a half decent digital camera for a long time now, and I narrowed the choice down to a Nikon D50 or a Canon EOS 350D. The original list also included Nikon D70s, Olympus E500 and a few others. By and large my budget was for about ��500, but for the right deal I’d have gone higher.

Dension Firmware update, Dension Config files, How to update Dension ICE>Link plus, Download Dension Firmware
Today I finally did what I should have done a year ago – I created a block here with just the Dension firmware files in it for people to download as they need. You will see each of the early firmwares there on the left hand side, plus a zip archive with all of them together (to save you having to get them one at a time).

If anyone wants to send me the very latest Dension files I’d be pleased to add them to the list.
Dension have done a poor job in providing these files for their customers, in my opinion. As time marches on, more improvements to the firmwares will have been made, but a lot of folk seem to want to stay with a version that works for them. For me, that was version 2.05, but I removed my Dension ICE>Link a year ago in favour of the Alpine head unit and KCA420i iPod adapter – a far superior experience when playing your iPod in your car.
