While the Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel) is a good camera in general, its software is severly crippled. What has been suspected by many now seems to be proven: the EOS 300 firmware is based on the 10D firmware, a number of custom functions have just been disabled, but not removed from the codebase and thus, those custom functions can be reactived. A modified firmware for Canon EOS 300D/Digital Rebel adds improved bracketing, improved RAW+JPEG image recording, flash exposure compensation - a feature found even on the PowerShot S40/50/60-line - and more to the camera. Which sheds new light on the marketing dilemma Canon faces. And in completely unrelated news: Nikon to increase D70 production from 70k to 90k units per month.
