New 100D deployment

Just purchased a new 100D (build date of Nov 2014) and it came with FW V5.0 Build 0292, 140731 (GA Patch 9) so upgraded it to the latest V5 Build 5.0.11 00310 - so my question is, do I move up to 5.2.2 00642 or leave it at 5.0.11?

 

The unit is about to go into a production environment so would welcome any tips :)

Hello,

 

Firstly, are you looking for any feature which is only available in V5.2 ?

 

Also, best way is to check the release notes of the V5.2.2 and see for the known issues.

 

If you are using any feature which has a known issue existing, then you can avoid it and stay with V5.0.11 as it has more number of patches meaning more fixes over the period of time.

 

Cheers !
