taylor_j. Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 So I just bought a Canon 300d and am seriously thinking aboutinstalling the latest 300D hack on it.<br>Can anybody say if this is worth it? I dont want to do something toscrew up my camera that I've only had for 1 day.<br>I need it primarily for the mirrow lock up function as I use it withmy telescope and MLU is important for this.

denisgermain Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 oh yes! do it... mirror lock, focus mode and my favorite: Control on the flash exposure (if you are using a 420) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstrutz Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I didn't need it for the mirror lock, but for flash exposure comp and other nice things. It makes the 300D a very usable camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_faini Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 where can you get this hack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palfy Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 eMule it. 16 months and 7000+ shots later, not a single problem with the hack. And yes, I used mirror lock-up a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor_j. Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 Is there anything on it that works differently?<br> I read on the main page for the hack that it makes some menus freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian_faini Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 i got it now, i am playing with it, no problems as of yet so, this is cool to me although, how do you activate the mirror lock up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor_j. Posted January 26, 2006 Author Share Posted January 26, 2006 go to your menu and on the last page there will be a huge list of custom functions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincent_j_m Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I'm happy with the hack. No problems so far. I love the custom functions. I use wasia's hack, not the undutchables release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew robertson Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Just for reference, what's the difference between the hacks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgarity Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 The hack is absolutely worth it. I have had it installed in my camera for over a year and a half with no ill effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny lee Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I installed it when I had it, I uninstalled it when I sold it, it dont really damage anything. go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan_suhr Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Will this improve the buffer speed of the camera or just add the features mentioned above? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimstrutz Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 It adds a bunch of features, but does not increase the buffer size or speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
