“Image Tank G2”
I need more photo storage space – I mean immediate storage space.
I’m beginning to prefer shooting in RAW mode, even during the brightest of days, and a 512CF just wont cut it when you’re out of town.
Been eyeing the Image Tank G2 to solve my problems.
“Canon EOS 300D / Digital Rebel”
I want to buy more lenses for my Rebel, and actually have decided on a replacement for my kit lens for general usage. But reviews have forced me to do a double-take.
I’ve come to learn that photography is a very complicated hobby. The sheer number of lenses available for any particular brand isn’t because the companies have nothing else to do, but simply because, one way or the other, there are actually needs for each specific lens model. Else they could’ve just made a single lens that could do everything.
Before you continue reading, I just want to state that I am a newbie in photography, so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I’m just here to discuss how I understood the concepts so that newbies such as myself will have basic understanding of the terminology used. Read More
“Wasia v1.1.1 b7.1 Firmware Hack”
Yet another update to the famous 300D Firmware Hack has been released today. Mostly cosmetic changes such as LED texts to indicate what the setting you’re messing with (e.g. FEC, AF mode). There are also a few additions worth mentioning.
No news on the AI-Servo yet though. I hear it would be easier to program a game into the firmware than to get that blasted AI-Servo working the way you want.

“WASIA v1.1.1 b7 Firmware Hack”
I’m sooooo glad I got the EOS 300D, as I’ve just applied a firmware hack that brought to life some “dormant” features the manufacturers intentionally disabled to bring the price of the unit down.
Its been widely known that the Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel and the Canon EOS 10D DSLR’s are similar beasts. In fact, if you look at their Side-by-side comparisons you can see that most of the features that vary are catagorized as “Customizable”.
The 10D has a menu item called “Custom Functions” which allows these settings to be adjusted. Well, a fellow in Russia found that in the latest firmware, by switching a single byte in the firmware image, he was able to enable most of these 10D “Custom Functions” in the Digital Rebel. Now, some features, such as more frames in rapid shooting, are hardware-limitations but some features lacking such as Flash Exposure Compensation and embedded JPEG quality are found to be working in the 300D.
Now I dare say that it is extremely close to performing like its big brother, the EOS 10D, which is about double the price. Well performing is probably stretching it, maybe delivering is a better term.
