William Robb ========== Yes. I used to have the 300D (first digital rebel). It basically used 10D software with features disabled. Then a Russian hacker came up with "patches" you could upload to your camera that would enable disabled features -- like mirror lock up. Not all things could be enabled (not all features were supported in the Rebel), but a surprising number could. Canon did not make that same mistake again. (I.E. The Rebel series got its own line of software after that. Pretty sure, anyway. I haven't heard about anyone being able to hack subsequent Rebels anyway.) I always meant to hack my camera, but never did. (One could save the original firmware, for reuploading if one were to sell it later. Also the original firmware was available on the Net.)
