The main reason why that list claims that one of the 1000/Rebel
series isn't IR-proof, is that originally, I had them all listed as
IR-proof, having seen one with mechanical sprockets, *and* being
earlier than the 100 (which was the first with an IR-LED of all
EOS'es, or even of all brands(?)).

The real shame is Canon making such blunt claims that IR-film can't
be used at all, no matter what, regardless of image area, and
regardless of the type of film.
Anyone should really try it first.
