Usually new firmware updates include any previous updates in them, so it's OK to just install the latest version.

I say usually, because it could vary. But in those cases, the manufacturer will explicitly state that you must have a previous version installed before installing the new software. I don't think that is the case here.
 
I'm fine with no V-log, personally... but they still haven't fixed the glitchy timecode. On free run, it still introduces a random delay in the timecode (verified by shooting an AF100's LCD while running free run on both).

All that timecode work, I'd have hoped they'd address that problem.

Still the best little camera I've ever owned, but still can't replace my fully pro models because of little things like this.
