Canon has issued firmware updates for the EOS 50D, 450D and 1000D. Unless you are planning on using them with the Speedlight 270 EX flash, you needn’t bother with the update — all it does is add support for the AF-assist beam in this strobe (which you shouldn’t use anyway unless you hate the people you are photographing and enjoy blinding them with blinkenlights).
All except the 50D. If you have one of these you’ll want to run the update — it fixes some banding issues, specifically the little-known "vertical banding noise phenomenon". Canon is characteristically quiet on the precise details but, you know, noisy banding is bad and fixes are good.
