Now a LOT of extra stuff is up for use, though you have to load it up every time you boot up your camera though, which can be done automatically.

The focal length calculator is nice too, and so is the text reader. Considering this is actually just something loaded on your flash card, not your camera (the camera just boots the hack off the card), I don't see a reason not to use it. ]]>Sep 11th 2007 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Sep 11th 2007 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Sep 11th 2007 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/
Hope someone finds the same fix for the S5-IS. I have waited 6 years for someone to have a real advancement over the Olympus 2100UZ. The S5-IS unlocked would finally totally make it.]]>Sep 11th 2007 9:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/
All of the other cameras that I know of in that family (minus the other A6XX models) are based on the smaller 1/2.5" chip, where the A6XXs have the 1/1.8" chip.


i hope this progresses to the digic 3 chips, so they can hack the G7. hotshoes rule ]]>Sep 11th 2007 11:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Sep 12th 2007 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Sep 20th 2007 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Nov 19th 2007 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Nov 20th 2007 3:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/http://www.engadget.com/2007/09/11/canon-firmware-hack-unlocks-features-on-digic-ii-based-cameras/Apr 19th 2008 4:33PM
