Opinion: Noble goal, but... The likelihood of getting these working may be small. It's usually very hard to diagnose and repair problems with "smart"...

Got them and thank you very much. I just have to say Wow. Looks like a space shuttle drawing. There is a lot in that hand-held little box. I have to think...
Just one other note concerning the 7D and astrophotography. The camera is known to exhibit fairly prominent 'purple glow' in one corner during long exposures...
Hi, Sorry this is OT but the following link will show what is involved in modifying a Canon XT (which can be purchased second hand for under $300). The...
Understood. If you take on the project make sure that you are wearing a grounding strap and your work area is dust free. After you remove the original filter...

Hi, It almost looks as if your body has a light leak. Try a few exposures with the body cap on in sunlight. If you didn't mention that it happens with...

... I think the most interesting part of this discussion is if you could disable the AS limiting the camera from not working - as that seems to be a fairly big...
Yet another oddity, in my experience. Sounds like the 2500(D) breaks all the rules. ;) - RL ... At least on an A200, when the 2500 (D) flash is mounted, there...
Thanks, everyone, for the info & tips about the 2500(D). I'm hoping to get an A230 soon to go with it. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been...

Can someone refresh my memory please? How do I check to see which firmware I have on the 7D? Lauri In a message dated 11/23/2009 9:10:00 A.M. Central Standard...
