Very nice indeed! Tom Waits often gets the credit for saying that a gentleman is "a man who can play the accordion but doesn't" :). It's a very old joke though!

Thought that referred to bagpipes? Anyway, it's all a similar sound - air squeezed against its will out of a sac.

some really useful updates there. 15 minutes exposure in T mode could be particularly useful. shoot without card - not so much.

I'm really happy that added shoot without card, at the mo when I take one card out it won't let me shoot (I have the second set to backup) - I assume it will work with only one card now.

Even with the update, no matter how it's set you cannot shoot with only one card.

Somebody needs to give mine a good talking to then - it's letting me shoot with just one card in its card 1 slot.

I wonder if it's dependant on how you have the two cards set? Mine is set to raw plus jpeg.
 
Just upgraded to the latest version, all looks ok so far.
Naming of custom profiles and increased bracketing options is a good step forward
