Lars,
The following is an excerpt from a post written by Chuck Westfall in the D30
forum at www.robgalbraith.com
The part enclosed in ">>x<<" was my question to him, and below that is his
response. His words are encouraging that we may see this lossless
auto-rotation feature in future models.

>>You know, the HP912 (aka Pentax EI2000) will sense when it's taking a
vertical shot and rotate the images automatically in-camera. I wonder if
Canon will institute this feature in future models?<<
Canon Inc. hasn't indicated an answer to that question yet, but the file
format for our digital cameras supports the ability to record orientation
data and the current versions of ZoomBrowser EX and ImageBrowser have the
ability to read that tag and adjust the orientation of the thumbnail
display. These facts imply that future Canon digital cameras may incorporate
an orientation switch, but it's too early to say when.
We've had orientation detection in some of our 35mm SLRs since 1992 with the
EOS A2E, so the concept isn't new to us.
