I've read that the WC problem may be "intrinsic" to the current incarnation of the EXR sensor and that firmware will never completely fix it. I know I should be more bothered by this but it just hasn't been a big problem. I suspect my first problem with it may arise during our trip to Disney in two weeks because of the range of lighting. OTOH, I saw an X-10 set from Disney on another forum and he had only one firework shot give him trouble. Of course, it can often be cloned out it needed.
