um how do you know if you need this or not?

It depends on what lenses you use, and whether you're bothered about the EXIF data showing them. Some of the more recent (Canon) lenses now have a full description in the EXIF, and the latest Canon DPP can correct distortions. If you don't have the latest lenses, there's no need to upgrade. I'm still on 1.0.4 and I'm hppy.

If you go to the firmware update page there are some Q&A's - it tells you how to check what version you have on the camera.
