April and I went to the camera store to look at both of the cameras I discussed in the last blog and could not justify the extra cost. So we decided that we would ask my parents for the Canon Digital Rebel (EOS 300D) for Christmas.
Another very interesting thing about this camera is that it was released after the more expensive and feature rich EOS 10D. The kicker, the Digital Rebel has all of the same capabilities of the 10D, but the firmware is just restricting the functions.
Not anymore! Someone has figured out a way to hack the Digital Rebel to give the camera identical functions of the EOS 10D. So now if you want to learn how to use the Digital Rebel you open up the 10D manual to learn how to use it. Click the link below to get the firmware if you own a Canon Digital Rebel. * This VOIDS THE WARRANTY! You can however, load the old firmware back onto the camera, so I suppose in that case you are unvoiding the warranty!?!?!
